Steel is an incredibly versatile material used across nearly every industry. It forms the backbone of construction in beams, columns, bridges, and reinforcement bars, and is essential in manufacturing machinery, automotive components, pipelines, tools, and fasteners. Specialized steels, like stainless or alloy steels, are applied where corrosion resistance, high strength, or wear resistance is required, such as in food processing, chemical plants, marine environments, and precision-engineered mechanical components. Its combination of strength, durability, and adaptability makes it ideal for both large-scale infrastructure and high-performance industrial applications.
As previously mentioned, steel is an alloy of iron and carbon; however, not all steel is exclusively comprised of these elements. Steel is predominantly made of iron and contains less than 2% carbon, as well as 1% manganese and minimal volumes of oxygen, sulphur, phosphorus, and silicon.
Steel has various properties, including malleability, plasticity, fatigue strength, elongation, yield strength, tensile strength, toughness, hardness, and creep. This extensive range of properties makes steel ideal for all manner of applications.
In order to weld galvanised steel successfully, you’ll need to be a particularly skilled welder. Therefore, when welding galvanised steel, the most effective method is to remove the zinc coating from the area being welded.
Iron is an element that can be found in nature within iron ore. Although this is the main component of steel, steel sections are a stronger alloy with optimised compression and tension properties.
