Steel is an essential raw material in the infrastructure industry because of its strength, durability, and ability to withstand the high stress of construction projects. Tap to check the list of different types of steel used in the infrastructure industry.
• The load that the infrastructure is going to bear • Overall budget of the project • Durability of the structure • Impact of steel on the overall appearance of the project • Maintenance requirements and the cost of the project
This is the most effective and highly used steel in infrastructure projects. It's used as reinforcing bars in concrete, beams, columns, bolts, nuts, etc. Mild Steel is the most widely used type of carbon steel.
With 10.5% chromium, SS makes a perfect choice for applications where corrosion is a major concern, like bridges, architectural elements, coastal structures, etc.
Having different alloying elements like nickel, vanadium and chromium, alloy steel is used in critical infrastructure components like specialized bridge components, high-strength bolts and parts of heavy machines.
This is a type of steel used extensively in infrastructure projects where concrete needs reinforcement. It is used as columns, beams and slabs in bridges and tunnels.
Ideal for applications like bridges, railway structures and sculptures, this steel forms a protective rust layer to protect structures from atmospheric corrosion.
