Steel is a low-carbon alloy that’s typically made of iron, tin, and carbon. With its ability to withstand corrosion, heat, and pressure, it’s one of the most popular metals in fabrication shops.
These days, modern steel fabrication is super-efficient. Everybody knows that the steel industry mass produces a vast range of different products every day.
Ok so why do we like Steel so much, check out some facts below:
- Almost 69 percent of steel is recycled in North America each year, which is more than paper, aluminum, plastic, and glass combined.
- Steel is roughly 1,000 times stronger than iron in its purest form, and it can be recycled without loss of strength.
- Steel is the main material used in delivering renewable energy like solar, hydro, and wind power.
- In developing countries, steel companies are the most involved trade with the provision of healthcare services and community-wide education.
- The steel industry has an estimated $900 billion turnover, making it the second largest industry in the world after oil and gas.
- Steel roofs last more than 50 years while traditional roofs last about 17 years.
- 75 percent of all major appliances are comprised of steel.
- The average computer is about 25 percent steel.
- Steel is used in almost every industry, including energy, construction and housing (the largest consumer of steel), automotive and transportation, infrastructure, packing, and machinery.
Steel is undoubtedly the best metal for sheet metal fabrication. Among the many reasons to mass-produce steel, it’s easy to recycle and strong.
