Steel recycling
For decades, the steel industry has been reducing the need to use raw material and encouraging steel recycling. This material is the most recycled on the planet. More than all other materials (paper, plastic, aluminum, glass) combined. The amazing metallurgical properties of steel allow recycling to continue, without degrading the yield from one product to […]
The correct way of storing/processing galvanized sheet
In order to protect your investment, it is necessary to know the correct way of storing/processing galvanized sheet. Although the general opinion of galvanized sheet users is that this material does not rust, in reality. The situation is different.

New manufacturing methods for stronger metals
Nature inspires new manufacturing methods by which metals become more resistant: „The presence of small particles on the surface of the metal makes it more resistant, but at the same time less ductile. But if we gradually increase the size of the particles inside the material, we can obtain a more ductile metal. You will […]
