Carbon steel

Products:

Carbon steel, also called plain carbon steel is one of the most common forms of steel on the market today. 

Carbon steel is defined as an alloy of iron with carbon where the total quantity of alloying elements is less than 2% by mass with compositional limits of 0.6% for copper, 1.65% for manganese, 0.04% for phosphorus, 0.6% for silicon, and 0.05% for sulfur. It will not have any other elements added to enhance a specific property or attribute.

When selecting carbon steel there are three general categories to consider: An increase in carbon will raise carbon steel’s hardness and strength. For example, mild carbon steel can be bent, cut, and twisted. while a high carbon steel will provide strength and hardness but not flexibility.

  • low carbon = .06% to .25% carbon content (mild carbon steel)
  • medium carbon = .25% to .55% carbon content (medium carbon steel)
  • high carbon = >.55% to 1.00% carbon content (hard carbon steel).

The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) defines carbon steel as follows: “Steel is considered to be carbon steel when no minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium or zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect; when the specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40 percent; or when the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, copper 0.60.”

Galvalume coil

Galvalume is also
referred to by its
coating weights,
AZ-50 and AZ-55.

 

Galvalume steel is carbon steel coated with an alloy that combines the impervious properties of aluminum with the malleability and galvanic protection of zinc.

It is a steel sheet with a coating of 55% aluminum and 45% zinc. Galvalume is well respected for combining the excellent barrier corrosion protection of aluminum with the galvanic protection of zinc.

  • AZ-50= 0.50 ounces per square foot of the aluminum-zinc alloy coating applied to both sides of the substrate.
    • AZ-50 is the typical coating weight for painted sheet/coil products.
  • AZ-55 = 0.55 ounces per square foot of the aluminum-zinc alloy coating applied to both sides of the substrate.
    • AZ-55 is the typical coating weight for bare or unpainted (often called acrylic-coated Galvalume or Galvalume Plus) sheet/coil products.
    • Acrylic-coated Galvalume has a slightly heavier coating weight and includes a light acrylic coating that protects the Galvalume coating in the manufacturing process. This acrylic coating will wear off over time with exposure. Though not painted, these products still need to be handled with care, or you risk scuffing or perforating the coating.

Common applications:  Commercial buildings – Hospitals, schools, stores, government buildings, and more. / Residential projects – Single-family, multi-family, condominiums, and more. / Architectural structures – Commercial, governmental, residential, and more. /  Structural/industrial applications – Warehouses, factories, and more. /  Agricultural – Non-animal confinement spaces, barns, storage, and more.

Galvanized coil

Galvanized metal products have been around since the 17th century, but the process of “galvanizing” materials became a widespread practice in the early 19th century. Galvanization (commonly referred to as galvanized) is a protective zinc coating that is applied to a steel or iron substrate through a hot-dip galvanizing process. Typical Galvanized Steel Sheets & Coil Applications:

  • Exterior building products
  • Ductwork
  • HVAC products
  • Flashing
  • Electrical boxes and other electrical products
  • Roofing
  • Doors
  • Sashes
  • Automotive parts
  • Appliances
  • Commercial and residential steel framing
  • Parking lots

Aluminum
diamond plate

Aluminum tread plate, also known as aluminum diamond plate or aluminum checker plate, is a type of aluminum rolled sheet. It has a raised diamond or linear pattern on one side and is smooth on the other side. The raised pattern provides a skid-resistant surface and is typically used in various applications where slip resistance and durability are important. They increase the traction for foot traffic and add an aesthetic element, making it a popular choice for decorative purposes

  • Cuts easily to desired size with tin snips or hobby shears
  • Fashioned with decorative nonskid tread plate finish
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use

Aluminum is remarkable for the metal’s low density and for its ability to resist corrosion. Structural components made from aluminum and its alloys are vital to the aerospace industry and are important in other areas of transportation and structural materials.

Alloy 1100: It is soft and ductile and has excellent workability, making it ideal for applications with difficult forming. 

Alloy 2011: High mechanical strength and excellent machining capabilities are the highlights of this grade.

Alloy 2014:  A copper based alloy with very high strength and excellent machining capabilities. 

Alloy 2024: Combination of high strength and excellent fatigue resistance, used where a good strength-to-weight ratio is desired. 

Alloy 3003: A commercially pure aluminum with added manganese to increase its strength (20% stronger than the 1100 grade). 

Alloy 5052: The highest strength alloy of the non-heat treatable grades. Fatigue resistance is superior to other aluminum grades.

Alloy 6061:  The most versatile of the heat-treatable aluminum alloys, while keeping most of the good qualities of aluminum.

Alloy 6063: It has reasonably high tensile properties, excellent finishing characteristics and a high degree of resistance to corrosion. 

Alloy 7075:  This is one of the highest strength aluminum alloys available. 

Rebar

FRP Rebar is a Spiral Wrapped Structural Reinforcing Rod made from a combination of fiberglass roving and resin. Developed as a superior alternative to steel in concrete reinforcement, FRP Rebar is suitable for applications requiring a lightweight material that has high tensile strength, with non-corrosive and non-conductive properties. For example, properly reinforced FRP concrete slabs exposed to heavy traffic, such as bridge decks and driveways, last approximately 20 times longer than conventional methods.

SUPERIOR BENEFITS OF FRP REBAR:

  • Tensile Strength is Greater than Steel
  • Electrically and thermally non-conductive
  • Transparent to Magnetic Fields & Radar Frequencies
  • Extremely Lightweight – 75% Lighter than Steel Rebar
