1. Galvanized Steel: Composition: Galvanized steel is ordinary steel coated with a thin layer of zinc. This zinc coating acts as a protective barrier, shielding the steel from rust and corrosion. Applications: Hardware: Galvanized steel is commonly used for nuts, bolts, screws, and nails that are exposed to the elements. Water Resistance: It stands up well to water […]

Low-Carbon Steel: Contains less than 0.25 wt.% carbon and cannot be hardened by heat treatment to form martensite. Typically used for applications where ductility and machinability are crucial. Examples include mild steel coils and cold-rolled carbon steel coils. Its carbon content ensures it remains relatively soft and easy to work with. Medium-Carbon Steel: Contains between 0.25 and 0.60 wt.% carbon and 0.60 to 1.65 wt.% manganese. Balances strength and ductility. Used in […]
Primary Reinforcement: Purpose: Rebar is primarily used to provide resistance and support for design loads in reinforced concrete structures. Application: It reinforces concrete beams, columns, slabs, and foundations, ensuring they can withstand tension forces. Example: In a reinforced concrete beam, rebar runs along the bottom to counteract bending forces. Secondary Reinforcement: Purpose: Secondary rebar enhances durability and addresses aesthetic concerns. Function: […]
