Properties and uses of steel

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, combined with other elements in varying quantities depending on the desired properties. Its properties include high mechanical strength, ductility and malleability, suitable for a variety of applications. Steel’s uses are vast, ranging from construction to the automotive industry, kitchen utensils, tools and even medical equipment. Due to its versatility, steel remains one of the most widely used materials in many sectors, because of its excellent mechanical properties.

Zinc<br> coating/galvanizing Zinc coating, or galvanizing, involves applying a protective layer of zinc to a metal surface to prevent corrosion, thus extending its service life. There are two main approaches to zinc coating: hot-dip galvanizing and electrolytic zinc plating. Steel - <a href="/en/steel">Steel</a>
Quenching Quenching is a heat treatment process designed to increase the hardness of metals, by heating followed by rapid cooling. A tempering operation usually follows to balance the hardness with the impact strength of the material. Steel - <a href="/en/steel">Steel</a>
