Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between mild steel and stainless steel?

Mild steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with a very small percentage of other elements, so it has great mechanical properties such as strength and ductility. However, it also has a tendency to rust and corrode over time if not treated or finished properly. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium with larger amounts of nickel and molybdenum, making it resistant to corrosion and rusting. It is also more expensive than mild steel.
What is aluminium steel typically used for in fabrication?

Aluminium steel is a popular choice for fabrication in industries such as automotive and aviation because of its excellent corrosion-resistance and light weight. It is also widely used in architecture and construction due to its aesthetic qualities. Additionally, aluminium steel is often used for components that require heat or electrical insulation, especially those with precision design requirements.
What is meant by high voltage lines?

High-voltage lines are electrical power lines with a voltage greater than 1000 volts. They are used to transmit electricity from its source to users over very long distances. High voltage lines carry the power from generating plants through transmission towers and substations, and eventually supply it to homes and businesses. Working on high voltage lines requires specialised equipment and safety procedures.
