Carbon steel and alloy steel
Steel is a versatile material, widely used in industrial and medical applications.
What grade of steel is best for welding?
S235JR and S275JR are well suited for welding and are widely used in industrial equipment and packaging machinery.
Is C45 steel hardenable?
Yes, C45 can be hardened by heat treatment, making it suitable for wear-resistant parts such as shafts and gears.
What is the difference between S235JR and S355JR?
S355JR has a higher strength than S235JR, making it better for heavier structures and applications requiring greater loads.
Do you provide certification for the materials?
Yes, we offer material certificates and follow standards such as EN 10025-2 and EN 10083-2 to ensure the quality and traceability of our materials.
What steels are good for CNC machining?
S235JR and 12L14 are both highly machinable and suitable for precise CNC machining, ideal for custom machine parts and prototyping components.
