Types of Steel

The African Continental Express Inc., is one of the leading importer and exporter of various types of steel such as Stainless Steel, Recycling Steel, Alloy Steel, Steel, Carbon Steel, etc.

Stainless Steel: It is used in various types of industries such as cookware, cutlery, hardware, surgical instruments, major appliances, industrial equipment, and as an automotive and aerospace structural alloy and construction material in large buildings, jewelery and watches.

The alloying elements tend to either form compounds or carbides. Nickel is very soluble in ferrite, therefore it forms compounds.

Carbon Steel:The purpose of heat treating carbon steel is to change the mechanical properties of steel, usually ductility, hardness, yield strength, or impact resistance.

Steel

It is an alloy containing iron, with a carbon content between 0.2% and 2.14% by weight. The most cost effective alloying material for carbon is iron. Steel is widely used as recycling material. Recycling steel is a cheaper process than to manipulate it through various production process to form a new steel. Steel does not lose any of its physical properties during the process of recycling. Its various uses are:

It is widely used in the construction of roads,m buildings and infrastructure and railways.

Other applications includes: Mining, shipping, pipeline transport, washing machines, tools, and heavy equipment.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is a substance that is made up of two or more chemicals elements which are used in a wide range of applications and is also used as recycling steel. It is an iron-containing alloy. Stainless steel contains a little content of chromium which makes it rust free. Stainless steels are used in wide range of applications and industries. Its wide applications includes sporting goods, automobile components, pipings and tubings, marine and shipbuildings. Stainless steel have good corrosion resistance and high ductability. Some of the basic raw materials used in stainless steels are chromium, iron ore, nickel, silicon, carbon, nitrogen and manganese. There are two types of stainless steel such as:

Austenitic Stainless Steels

Duplex Stainless Steels

Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is basically made of carbon. It is also called plain carbon. As the content of carbon increases, the metal becomes stronger and harder, but its ductability lowers and it becomes difficult to weld. Higher carbon content lowers the melting point and temperature resistance. Carbon steel is broken down in to four classes based on carbon content:

1.Mild and low carbon steel: It is the most common form of steel as its price is relatively low. Low carbon steel is neither brittle nor ductile. Mild steel has a relatively low tensile strength.

Higher Carbon Steel: High carbon steels are usually very strong and is used for springs and high strength wires.

Alloy Steel

Alloy Steels are basically broken into two groups:

Low Alloy Steels:They are used to achieve better hardenability, which improves its other mechanical properties. It is very difficult to weld low alloy steel with medium or high levels.

High Alloy Steels: Alloy steels have greater strength, hardness and wear resistance. It requires to go through the process of heat treatment to achieve these properties. The basic raw materials used in making alloy steel are molybdenum, manganese, nickel, chromium, vanadium, silicon and boron. Alloying elements are added to achieve certain properties in the material. The alloying elements tend to either form compounds or carbides.

Steel Sheets

We are engaged in the import and export of steel sheets which are used in making of stainless steel pipes, etc. it is basically made out of stainless steel billet, which is converted into stainless steel flat and then it is hot rolled and cold rolled to form different length and width. Steel sheets are of high durability, corrosion resistance.
