Steel is one of the most commonly used industrial metals. With a clientele that is spread throughout a diverse number of industries such as aerospace, engineering, defense, oil and natural gas and construction, steel has proven itself very early in the game of its worth due to the strength and strength that it provides. The steel tube and plate among other materials made of this alloy has been used as early as the 17th century and it has grown exponentially better in the modern world through the development of technology.

Because of its affordability matched with its reliability as material, it is no wonder why it is one of the most common materials used in the whole world. And just like other metals, different treatments are used for steel which includes annealing, quenching and tampering.

Steel is an alloy that heavily contains iron and dashed with different other elements; one of which is carbon. Carbon serves as the hardening agent which also prevents the iron atom crystal lattice to suffer from dislocations. The percentage present of other alloying element in steel determines its hardness, ductility and tensile strength. Having 2.1 percent of carbon content for alloys is known for their lower melting point and good castability. Steel is well also well known for its superb weldability and rust resistance.

The Steel Tube

Some of the most common uses of steel tubes are the following:

  •  Construction of mounts
  • Highway signs
  •  Fence posts
  • Culvert pipes
  • Building skeletons, etc.

Aside from these, steel tubes and pipes are also known for being commonly used in transportation of potable water casings for utility lines and in the oil and natural gas industry. They are used for transportation of raw material and different unfinished products as well.

The Steel Plate

Steel plates are used mainly in high temperature containers like boilers, and marine vehicle manufacturing. Steel plates are very significant in the construction of such vessels for its strength – another outstanding reason why it’s also used in all sorts of buildings. Steel plates are also useful for the defense industry when it comes to building military grade vehicles like tanks and jets, as well as buildings like bunkers, too.
