Steel Dominance Over Automobile Industries

Image
Unquestionably the most common material used in building Automobiles are steel. Steel is easy to work with, strong, cheap and readily available. So most car bodies are built from steel. Also it doesn’t take extremely specialized tools or knowledge to produce, manufacture and repair steel. The steel is mainly used for car roof, chassis, wheels, brakes, exhaust and engine. As per the research around 900 kg of steel is used per vehicle. Steel usage is as follows. i) 34% of steel is used in body structure, panels, doors and trunk closures for high strength and energy absorption in case of a crash. ii) 12% is used in the suspension, using rolled high strength steel strip. iii) 23% is in the drive train consisting of cast iron for the engine block and machinable carbon steel for the wear resistant gears. iv) The remainder is found in the wheels, tyres, fuel tank, steering and braking systems.   Manufactures use steel because, it is the strongest and most

Steel And Its Types In The Construction Industry

Image
The majority of steel production goes to the construction industry. Steel structures can be built at a low price in a small time. Steel, in its various forms and alloys, can be modified to meet the demands of unique projects. On the basis of   conditions that the structure is exposed to, steel can be alloyed differently for protection. The major two types of steel used in the construction field are reinforcing steel and structural steel.  Reinforcing Steel Reinforcing steel (reinforcement steel), is a steel mesh(or bar) of steel wires used as a tension in reinforced concrete and masonry structures for strengthening. Reinforcing steel surfaces are normally patterned to form a better sync with the concrete. (These steel augmentations are generally used to compensate for the low tensile strength of concrete thus preventing from cracks. Reinforcing steel is solid bar and round most of the time. Structural Steel Structural steel is a group of steel used as
