Properties of steel alloys

Steel alloys are the most common material among the metals processed in the manufacturing industry. According to Polish Norms, the first component should constitute the vast majority of the alloy, and the second no more than 2.11%. If the carbon content is higher, we are already talking about cast iron. In addition, there are other metals, elements and non-metallic inclusions in the composition of steel alloys that influence the heat treatment process to obtain the desired structure and mechanical properties. You will find out more information later in this article.

In this article you will learn how to correctly choose tooling for press brakes we either operate or intend to purchase.

A gas cutting (called also oxy-fuel cutting) is, next to plasma cutting, one of the most common methods of cutting metals as it is primarily applicable to low-carbon steel and low-alloy steel.

In the past, we have written an article on the differences between gas and plasma cutting. Now we will remind you of the most important advantages of oxy-fuel cutting as well as its limitations.
