Frequently Asked Questions

What is mild steel typically used for in fabrication?

Mild steel is typically used in fabrication for structural components due to its strength and ductility. It is also popularly used in manufacturing processes such as welding, cutting and bending because it has excellent formability properties. This makes mild steel a popular choice for fabricating components like motor parts, frames, furniture and tools.
Is aluminium steel the same as aluminium?

No, aluminium and aluminium steel are not the same. Aluminium is a naturally occurring element that has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, making it an ideal choice for components like wiring or heat sinks. Aluminium steel is an alloy made from aluminium, manganese and other elements. It is much tougher and stronger than aluminium alone, making it an ideal choice for metal fabrication work.
Are copper wires still used to transmit data?

Yes, copper wires are still used to transmit data, although fibre optics can be preferable in many instances. Copper wire is an inexpensive and reliable medium for transmitting both analogue and digital signals over short distances. It's especially common in local area networks (LANs), but can also be used for telephone and cable television systems. Copper wires are still widely used for applications where data transmission speeds do not need to be particularly high, such as some home security systems.
