• Grade: 304, 316, 410, 430
• Specifications: ASTM A240, A276
• Description: Stainless steel is an alloy of iron with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass. This material is known for its resistance to corrosion, staining, and oxidation, making it suitable for both domestic and industrial applications. It is highly durable and can withstand high temperatures and harsh conditions.
• Applications: Food processing, medical devices, automotive parts, and kitchen appliances.
• Features:
  • Corrosion-resistant
  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Easily maintained and cleaned

• Grade: 4130, 4140, 4340
• Specifications: ASTM A29, A322
• Description: Alloy steel is made by adding elements like chromium, nickel, and vanadium to carbon steel to improve specific properties. These include strength, hardness, and resistance to wear. It is used in industries that require components to withstand high stress, impact, or elevated temperatures.
• Applications: Aerospace, automotive, military, and oil and gas industries.
• Features:
  • Improved mechanical properties
  • Higher resistance to wear and fatigue
  • Customizable for specific applications

• Grade: ASTM A992, ASTM A572
• Specifications: ASTM A572 Grade 50, ASTM A709
• Description: HSLA steel is designed to offer higher strength compared to carbon steel, while maintaining good weldability and formability. It is used in construction, bridges, and heavy machinery where reduced weight and high strength are essential.
• Applications: Structural beams, bridges, and pressure vessels.
• Features:
  • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
  • Excellent weldability
  • Corrosion resistance

• Grade: O1, A2, D2, S7
• Specifications: ASTM A681, SAE J431
• Description: Tool steel is specifically designed to make tools. These steels are engineered for hardness, wear resistance, and the ability to withstand high temperatures. Commonly used in manufacturing tools, dies, and molds.
• Applications: Cutting tools, dies, punches, and mold manufacturing.
• Features:
  • High hardness
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • Good dimensional stability

• Grade: G90, G60
• Specifications: ASTM A653
• Description: Galvanized steel is carbon steel coated with a thin layer of zinc to provide superior corrosion resistance. The zinc coating protects the steel from rust and wear, making it ideal for use in harsh environments.
• Applications: Roofing, siding, fencing, and automotive body parts.
• Features:
  • Excellent corrosion resistance
  • Enhanced durability
  • Cost-effective protective coating

• Grade: 1008, 1010, 1018
• Specifications: ASTM A1008, A1011
• Description: Cold-rolled steel is produced by rolling steel at room temperature. This results in a smoother surface and increased strength and hardness compared to hot-rolled steel. It is often used in applications where a precise finish and tight tolerances are needed.
• Applications: Automotive parts, appliance manufacturing, and metal furniture.
• Features:
  • Superior surface finish
  • High precision and consistency
  • Excellent formability

• Grade: A36, A1011, A572
• Specifications: ASTM A36, ASTM A992
• Description: Hot-rolled steel is processed at high temperatures, making it easier to form and shape. This steel is widely used in applications that do not require a precise finish or tight dimensional tolerances.
• Applications: Structural applications, construction, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
• Features:
  • Cost-effective
  • Suitable for large-scale fabrication
  • High ductility
