Shocking Facts About Steel

Image
Sheet metal may not seem incredibly unique or special - but that couldn’t be further from the truth. It makes up the products that you use every single day. Steel is a low-carbon alloy, and it’s typically made of iron, tin, and carbon. It has the ability to withstand corrosion, heat, and pressure, and it’s one of the most popular metals in fabrication shops, like our custom fabrication shop in Sunrise Beach, MO . Ready to learn some fun facts bout sheet metal and fabrication? Almost 69 percent of steel is recycled in North America each year, which is more than paper, aluminum, plastic, and glass COMBINED! Did you know that steel is roughly 1,000 times stronger than iron in its purest form? It can also be recycled without loss of strength. Steel roofs last more than 50 years while traditional roofs last about 17 years.

What's the Difference Between Welding, Soldering, and Brazing?

Welding also requires the hottest temperatures, soaring near 3800 degrees Celsius. In order to join the metals, the piec...

Think about all of the welded products you encounter in one day...
