Estimating weights for #metal materials can be a tedious process. We recently launched a great online calculator that makes it a breeze! The Metal Weight Calculator allows you to input details like material, alloy, shape, and size to instantly get weights for single pieces or order quantities. It supports common metals like copper, brass, bronze, nickel and stainless steel. If you often have to estimate weights for metals and want to save time and effort, check out the tool on our PLUS website! #MetalWeightCalculator #MetalAlloys #Alloys

Have you ever pondered the contrasts between iron, metal, and steel? 🤔 While some might assume they are all similar, the truth is, they are all different. When we picture the Iron Man suit, it's tempting to think it's solely made of iron, given the name "Iron Man"! 😏 While that's partly accurate, here's an intriguing twist: steel, a remarkable alloy primarily comprising iron and carbon, with trace elements, plays a crucial role. But hold on, there's more! "Metal" encompasses a wide range of materials with metallic properties, including steel. Iron (Fe), on the other hand, stands as a fundamental chemical element.

Carbon steel An alloy consisting primarily of iron (Fe) with a small amount of carbon (C). Carbon steels do not have alloying elements intentionally added. However, there may be small amounts of elements permitted by specifications such as ASTM A516 and ASTM A106, for example, that can affect corrosion-related properties, hardness after welding, and toughness. Elements that may be found in small quantities include Mn, Cr, Ni, Mo, Cu, S, Si, P, Al, V, and B. 

Alloy 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Plate DESCRIPTION of Alloy 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Plate Carbon is not considered a harmful element in Alloy 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Plate. However, in steelmaking, carbon is used according to the use of steel, and steels for different purposes have strictly different carbon contents. The amount of carbon in Alloy 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Plate has a great influence on the performance of the steel pipe. Generally speaking, the higher the carbon content of the Alloy 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Plate, the higher the strength and hardness of the Alloy 2205 Duplex Stainless Steel Plate, the lower the plasticity and toughness; the lower the carbon content of the stainless steel pipe material, the stronger and the hardness of the steel. The lower the value, the higher the plasticity and the higher the toughness. The carbon content in scrap has a great influence on steelmaking operations. If the carbon content is too high or too low, it will increase the consumption of auxiliary materials and prolong the smelting time. Therefore, steel scrap for steelmaking must be strictly separated according to the carbon content.

316 SS Seamless steel Tube DESCRIPTION of 316 SS Seamless steel Tube Stainless steel seamless pipes Few people know that 316 SS Seamless steel Tube are also magnetic at work. Many people use magnetism to identify the authenticity of stainless steel seamless pipes. If there is magnetism, it means inferior products, and if there is no magnetism, it means high-quality products. In fact, this approach is also wrong. Many high-quality 316 SS Seamless steel Tube that are normally used are also magnetic. Let’s talk about why stainless steel seamless pipes are also magnetic? Austenite is non-magnetic or weakly magnetic, while martensite or ferrite is magnetic. Due to component segregation or improper heat treatment during smelting, a small amount of martensite or ferrite in austenitic stainless steel will result. In this way, the stainless steel will have weak magnetism. In addition, the structure of stainless steel will be transformed into martensite after cold working. The greater the degree of cold working deformation, the more martensite transformation and the greater the magnetic properties of the steel. Like a batch of steel belts, Φ76 tubes are produced without obvious magnetic induction, and Φ9.5 tubes are produced. Because the bending deformation is larger, the magnetic induction is more obvious, and the deformation of the square rectangular tube is larger than that of the round tube, especially the corner part, the deformation is more intense and the magnetism is more obvious. In order to completely eliminate the magnetic properties of the steel caused by the above reasons, the austenite structure can be restored and stabilized by high-temperature solution treatment, thereby eliminating the magnetic properties.  In particular, the magnetism of 316 SS Seamless steel Tube caused by the above reasons is not at the same level as the magnetism of other materials, such as carbon steel, which means that the magnetism of steel always shows weak magnetism. The above is the description and analysis of the magnetic in the stainless steel seamless tube.

316 Stainless Steel Sheets DESCRIPTION of 316 Stainless Steel Sheets   The price of nickel directly affects the price of 316 Stainless Steel Sheets. Nickel is the main alloying element in austenitic stainless steel. Its main function is to stabilize austenite, so that the steel can obtain a completely austenitic structure, so that the steel has good strength and plasticity, toughness, and has excellent cold. Hot workability and cold formability as well as welding, low temperature and non-magnetic properties, while improving the thermodynamic stability of austenitic 316 Stainless Steel Sheets, making it not only better than ferrite, martensitic and other stainless steels with the same chromium and molybdenum content Better rust resistance and resistance to oxidizing media, and the stability of the surface film is improved, so that the steel has more excellent resistance to some reducing media. Nickel is an element that stabilizes austenite and expands the austenite phase region. In order to obtain a single austenite structure, the minimum nickel content required when the steel contains 0.1% carbon and 18% chromium is about 8%. It is the basic component of the most famous 18-8 chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel. In austenitic 316 Stainless Steel Sheets, as the nickel content increases, the residual ferrite can be completely eliminated, and the tendency to form the σ phase is significantly reduced; at the same time, the The temperature of the transition from the austenitic to the hydrocarbon decreases, and the λ→M phase transition may not even occur, but the increase of the nickel content will reduce the solubility of carbon in the austenitic stainless steel, thereby increasing the tendency of carbide precipitation.

Tungsten is an important and well-known alloying element for steel, but what makes it so special? 👀 It is often used to improve certain properties of steel, for example, it is the most temperature-resistant element on earth and therefore has the highest melting point. This makes the steel ideal for applications that are exposed to high temperatures. The addition of tungsten improves the hardness of the steel and thus increases wear resistance. Tungsten steel is therefore often used in tools that have to withstand heavy use. It also promotes the impact toughness in the steel, which means it is more resistant to cracking and breaking. This is particularly important in applications where impact strains occur. 👉 One of these tungsten alloyed steels is our HSS M2! Its composition ensures high impact toughness, good compression strength and excellent wear resistance.
