Online metal suppliers for Steel Tube and tubing, Steel Sheet, and Alloy Steel.
Steel is made of iron and other elements, and the most common is carbon steel, which is found in 90% of steel used today in construction and other applications because of its high tensile strength and low cost. Various types of steel are created when alloys of molybdenum, chromium, manganese or nickel are added in. Stainless Steel contains a minimum of 10% chromium, and sometimes nickel to increase resitiance to corrosion. Tool Steel, a much harder grade, is created when alloys of tungsten and cobalt are added.
