Stainless steel is a steel alloy that is composed of a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass and a maximum of 1.2% carbon by mass. Stainless steel is defined by its crystalline structure. There are four families austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, and duplex. Stainless steel alloys in North America are designated by one of two... Continue Reading →
Austenitic stainless steel is a specific type of steel alloy typically in use for stainless applications. Stainless steels are organized in four main categories by their crystalline structure: austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex. Austenitic steels are hardenable by cold treatment and are mostly non-magnetic. Today, we are breaking down the basics of what you should... Continue Reading →
Many people ask us the difference between a pipe, tube, and hollow bar so we’ve made this video to explain the difference. https://youtu.be/qKrj2i4qRDo Overall, the difference is the application and the way they are measured. Pipes are typically used to transfer liquid or gas, and are constructed to withstand high pressure. Pipes are always round.... Continue Reading →
The answer is simple: Demand. However, this one word answer has taken us over 100 years to get here. Aluminum is a comparatively new element in the applications as we know it. Bars of aluminum were exhibited for the first time to the general public at the Exposition Universelle of 1855 in Paris. Pure aluminum... Continue Reading →
