Steel Beams

Steel Beams are also known as I-Beams. I-Beams are made even using Aluminium or other metals. Structural Steel Beams are the most popular and are used for a variety of purposes owing to their usefulness. Steel Beams are made either by Rolling namely, hot rolling, cold rolling, and extrusion or by the Plate Girder process namely, by welding, bolting, or riveting plates. Before preparation, specific dimensions and measurements are specified for the Steel Beams to perfect their shape. The exact dimensions are crucial in ensuring the right size that will yield the best results when the finished product is used. To achieve high accuracy in manufacturing, Steel Beams are made using Laser Fusion Technology by Engineers who mix the right proportion of thickness and material grades.

Steel Beams shaped in the form of the capital letter I are mostly used in industries that need tapered flanges. W-shaped Steel Beams, also called wide flange beams are used in residential housing and construction purposes. There are also H-Flanges that are a bit more heavier and longer than I-Flanges but look almost the same. Due to their useful shapes and good strength to weight ratio, they are best suited for construction. Industrial sheds, Bridges and Building structures mostly use steel beams. They can expertly handle vertical gravitational forces and horizontal earthquake or wind forces. Transmission Line Towers and Frames also see extensive usage of Steel Beams. They form strong bonds with Brickwork and Lintel which makes them perfect for structural projects.

Steel Strips

The traditional method of making Steel Strips is by using recycled steel. The newest method of Steel Preparation begins by first rolling steel rod stock and strips of appropriate dimensions into steel strapping of specified thickness. The resulting steel strapping is then heated with electrical resistance by passing electric current through it using roller contacts. When the strip stock reaches an appropriate temperature, it is hot rolled and heat treated. Heat Treatments are varied and chosen per the type of structural constitution required such as Pearlite, Marsenite, Bainite etc. It can be modified to obtain various properties such as Tensile Strength, Ductility etc. The resultant product is either coiled or cold rolled. This method results in energy savings that were hard to achieve in conventional heat furnaces.

Steel Strips are used for different industrial applications. Most common uses include Body Panels, Automotive Components, Tubes, Appliances like Refrigerators, Washers, and Dryers, Building Materials, Electric Components etc. Steel Strips have excellent forming and deep crawling capabilities. Cold Rolled Steel Strips possess excellent surface quality, cold formability, and uniform mechanical properties.

Galvanised Iron Sheets

Galvanised Iron Sheets are sheets used for Buildings and Construction that are a set of steel sheets obtained by hot dipping galvanised mild steel and then cold-rolling them. The resulting sheets contain a linear corrugate pattern on them. The corrugations prevent bending of the sheets in a direction perpendicular to the corrugations, making these sheets excellent roofing material. The Corrugation process works by the roll formation process. The metal sheets are passed through rolls and rolling dies that result in the corrugation pattern. After rolling, the sheets are sheared off per desired length. The corrugation pattern is mostly a round, wavy style. But, if different shapes and patterns are required, this can be changed by changing the rolling dies.

GI sheets are used in the manufacture of ovens and electrically controlled cabinets. The Galvanised Coatings on these sheets act as protection barriers for small areas of the steel that are exposed to damage. They provide Cathodic or Sacrificial Protection to such areas. Other than the Construction industry, GI Sheets are also used in the Agriculture, Automobile, and Household sector. They are best suited for making wall ornaments and cornices in Buildings and houses. Roof ornaments such as Cresting and Finials also make use of GI Sheets.

Cold Rolled Plate

The manufacturing of cold rolled (CR) plates is a pretty long process that is split into several stages. The first stage involves manufacturing of the hot rolled steel. In this stage, pig iron is prepared in a blast furnace through reaction of mixture of coke and iron ore. The pig iron is then made to pass through a converter and continuous casting equipment to generate a slab style steel product, which is passed through a hot rolling mill (containing pairs of rolls) and pickled through a pickling line.

The second stage involves the cold rolling process, where such hot rolled pickled steel products are cooled down by maintaining the temperature (of steel metal) below its re-crystallisation temperature (mostly it is the room temperature) and passing them via cold reduction mill (to reduce thickness and obtain uniformity). The resulting cold rolled plates possess immense impact strength (due to strain hardening) and may be a bit hard to exhibit less formability.

To increase the formability nature of the CR plate, it is necessary to make them go through the annealing process, which involves reheating at higher temperatures. This is the third and final stage in the entire manufacturing process of CR plates. This long procedure results in highly refined steel, that is in great demand for use in the chemical and automobile industries.

The cold rolled steel plates contain lower carbon content than the hot rolled steel, which makes them slightly more durable.The cold rolled plates are also smaller in size as well as exhibit less formability than their hot rolled counterparts.

Cold Rolled Sheet

The general process used for production of cold rolled (CR) steel sheets is based on the metalworking or rolling process, which includes passing the metal steel through one or more pair of rolls to reduce the thickness. The entire process starts from preparation of pig iron in a blast furnace, where a mixture of coke and iron ore reacts together. This pig iron is then passed through a converter as well as continuous casting equipment to obtain a slab type steel product. This slab is then hot rolled (through a hot rolling mill containing pairs of rolls) and pickled (under the impact of a pickling line).

To form the cold rolled sheets from such hot rolled pickled products, the temperature of the steel is maintained below its re-crystallization temperature (normally the room temperature), while making it pass through a cold reduction mill (pairs of rolls to reduce thickness). This cold rolling process results in the formation of hard CR sheets that showcase less formability, uniform thickness and immense strength (due to strain hardening).

It is sometimes necessary to reheat such hard CR sheets during the annealing process to increase their formability and make them soft. Such a combination of cold rolling, followed by annealing helps in greater refinement of steel, that is more desirable for end use in automobiles, chemical industry, and so on.

Hot Rolled Plate

Manufacturing hot rolled plates involves a continuous process, in which the steel slabs are rolled continuously at ahigh temperature --- usually over 1, 000 degrees Fahrenheit. Continuous monitoring of the temperature is required at this stage to ensure that it is maintained at therecrystallization temperature. If at any stage, the temperature goes below the recrystallization temperature, then raw material has to be reheated before further rolling process can be continued. The steel slabs or sheets are passed through theroller and then cut into required sizes and after which they are cooled off.

Often, these hot rolled materials possess oxides or other contaminants. These can be removed using a special treatment called pickling, which involves using an acidic solution, that lends a smooth, oxide free surface.

Such hot rolled plates usually have less directionality, and at times, may have residual stress and hence these can be used in construction works where materials with defined dimension and shapes are not mandatory.

Hot Rolled Sheet

Hot Rolled (HR) Steel Sheets are made using the hot rolling process, in which the semi-finished products, such as steel slabs or billets, are first made into thin sheets by rolling them between rollers. During the process, special care is needed to ensure the temperature of the furnace does not drop below the steels recrystallization temperature. If in any circumstances, the temperature drops below the recrystallization temperature, the material has to be reheated all over again.

After rolling, the resultant product is annealed and converted into various forms by cutting them mechanically or by burning.

Hot rolled steel often consists of oxide layers which are treated by the pickling process. In this treatment, an acid-based pickling solution is used to remove surface scales and impurities from the metal to give a bright surface finish to the steel sheet.

Stainless Steel Sheet

Stainless Steel Sheets are highly preferred in a wide range of industries for their high corrosion resistance. From being used in the manufacturing of cookware to high profile industrial equipment, stainless sheets have emerged as one of the highly sought after industrial raw materials. Stainless steel sheets also tend to exhibit greater resistance at higher temperatures. They are used in applications that call for greater degrees of temperature tolerance. These sheets are formed by using the hot rolling process to produce flat thin pieces that can be easily formed into any shape.

Stainless Steel Sheets are manufactured from stainless steel flats as the raw material. These are passed through the hot rolling units and hot rolled at a certain high temperature, which is called the recrystallisation temperature (for steel it is 1000?F). Once hot rolling is done, the resultant product is taken for annealing in the cold rolled annealing furnace. The process of annealing makes the metal more ductile and malleable. Next, the hot rolled, annealed steel product is now pickled using an acid-based solution to get rid of any surface oxide or furnace scale.

High Density Polyethylene

HDPE or high-density polyethylene is a colourless and odourless polyethylene thermoplastic. Known for its high strength-to-density ratio, HDPE is used as a major raw material in the manufacturing and processing industry. From safe food storage containers to high quality fuel tankers, there is a huge demand for HDPE in a wide range of applications.

HDPE is made from petroleum or semi-crystalline polyethylene products using a high intense process known as cracking. It involves production of ethylene gas which under controlled conditions are converted into a strong, highly resistant polymer. The resulting polymer is then processed through minute holes and gradually cut down to form what is called HDPE granules. There are various grades of HDPE available in the market and these are categorised based on their properties and industry specific requirements. Some of the commonly used HDPE grades include Polystone P5300, B5500, E5201, and F5400.

High-density polyethylene enjoys a position above conventional raw materials like steel, glass or even PVC tubes as it is considered to be safer and cost-efficient. Studies have shown that the recycling of an HDPE product involves less energy loss and cost than traditional methods of recycling practiced in the industry. Some of the key advantages of HDPE includes:

  • Highly flexible and durable
  • High strength-to-density ratio
  • High temperature resistance

Pvc Resin

Poly Vinyl Chloride Resin or PVC Resin as it is popularly called, is a thermoplastic Resin which can be softened on reheating. A common term for this commodity polymer is Vinyl. Often available in the form of a powder, PVC granules are highly resistant to oxidisation and degradation caused by atmospheric reaction. In its raw form, it appears as a white powdery solid.

The composition of PVC is such that 57 % is chlorine and 43% is carbon. Since the process of deriving PVC Resin granules is rarely dependent on petroleum, it is considered as one of the more renewable plastics.

According to its appearance and flexibility, PVC is categorised into the following two categories:

  • Rigid PVC: Use in construction
  • Flexible PVC: The granules are made softer by the addition of plasticisers

PVC Resin is manufactured by thepolymerisationof thevinyl chloridemonomer. According to the method of polymerisation.

PVC Resin granules are characterised into four categories:

  • Suspension PVC: This method is highly cost effective and about 80% of PVC Resin is produced via this method
  • Emulsion PVC: This process produces finer particles and the product is mostly used in the manufacturing of plastisols
  • Bulk-Polymerized PVC: In this method, no emulsifiers or additives are used. This helps to generate the purest form of PVC
  • Co-Polymer PVC: This process is used for adding special properties to PVC by polymerising the granules along with other co-monomers. Vinyl flooring sheets come under this category

Abs Granule

Acrylonitrile Butadienestyrene, popularly known as ABS granules is an engineering polymer that has great fluidity to take up any shape, and provides a good shine and colour. ABS stands out for its strong nature, thermal stability and its ability to conform to any rigid matrix. ABS is developed by polymerizing acrylonitrile and styrene, along with the presence of polybutadiene. The proportions vary, but the composition makes ABS more robust than pure polystyrene.

The most important properties of ABS are its durability and impact resistance feature, although various modifications can be made to amplify these properties. ABS has excellent stability under limited loads, and displays valuable characteristics within -20 C to 80 C.

ABS comes in two different grades one for extrusion, and the other for injection moulding. However, ABS final properties are determined by the settings under which they have been processed. For instance, moulding at a lower temperature improves its strength, whereas moulding at a higher temperature enhances its gloss and shine. Certain additives can also be mixed to make it stronger, protect against ultraviolet radiation, prevent oxidisation, or change its colour.

ABS is largely used for mechanical purposes, but it also finds its way in electrical usages. Customers have a wide choice of colours and shades - each with their own key characteristics, allowing them to handpick or customise the granules, depending on their requirements. The blue and green granules are used for making any kind of plastic item. The yellow and orange granules have massive thermal stability, while the red granules are highly consistent in their composition. Violet granules are useful for the electrical industry. Given the extensive range, these granules have a high procurement demand from customers worldwide.

ABS polymers do not welt when exposed to alkalis, alcohols, hydrochloric/phosphoric/aqueous acids, and to vegetable/animal/mineral oils. Furthermore, ABS granules are light weight, and they do not get affected by atmospheric humidity or temperature (provided its within the acceptable range).

Nylon Fibers

Nylon is a common term used for a family of synthetic fibers. Chemically, these are polymers from the semi-aromatic polyamides category. As one of the most versatile polymers with extensive industrial and home applications, Nylon has created a revolution in terms of usage. In fact, it was the first textile fiber made from organic materials.

Typically, Nylon is produced through the reaction of adipic acid with hexamythelene diamine which forms a large molecule via fusion. This process is called condensation polymerisation. A common fiber form of nylon i.e. nylon 6, is prepared in this manner.

Nylon occurs in a variety of forms:

  • Nylon Fibers:These are long and soft filaments which are produced by high speed melt-spinning and mostly belong to Nylon6 or Nylon-66 types. Various forms of nylon filaments may be produced depending on application single filament or multi-filament. A unique feature of these fibers is their elasticity and varying degrees of lustre, which is used in making garments.
  • Extruded Nylon Shapes:Nylon 6 is commonly used as moulded nylon for various industrial and commercial applications. Nylon is used as a reinforcing additive for imparting tenacity and heat resistance to devices such as printers and car components.
  • Nylon Filaments:These slightly differ from nylon fibers on account of added tensile strength. Nylon filaments are used in brushes, parachutes, fishing lines, etc.
  • Nylon Powder:Nylon can also be reduced to a powder form which is used as powder coating for metal fittings, such as pipes.

Pet Resin

PET stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate Resin, a widely used thermo-plastic polymer. The fact that it belongs to the polyester family, lends it a common name of polyester when used for fabrics.

A positive point of PET Resin is that it is recyclable, and hence sustainable in nature. In fact, it can be re-recycled into a variety of forms, making it the most in-demand commodity for industrial and personal use.

Naturally, PET occurs as colourless resin with a somewhat crystalline form. When produced in a chemical setting, ethylene glycol and Teraphthalic acid react under high temperature and low pressure, forming long polymer chains which resemble spaghetti-like strands. These are then cut into pellets, which when heated will melt further and can be stretched into thin fibres or sheets. Another far more crystalline form of PET can also be prepared if it remains stretched at high temperatures for a longer period of time, giving it a more glass-like appearance.

There are different types of PET:

  • Amorphous PET/Reground PET: This is PET in its amorphous virgin form, clear in colour and lustrous
  • Crystalline PET: When Amorphous PET is crystallised to prevent agglomeration in the processing machinery while drying, it is called Crystalline PET. Conversion happens at temperatures of 180 degrees Celsius
  • Blow Moulded PET: A combination of 20% amorphous and 80% crystalline scrap, is used for producing this highly dry version for further processing
  • Recycled PET: Any PET which is recycle typically contains 25-100% recycled content
  • Terra PET: A blend with a 30% mix of renewable sugarcane derivatives

Apart from pure PET, co-polymers are also used to impart special properties to PET. For example, a commonly used coloured PET-G is produced by reacting cyclohexane di-methanol instead of ethylene glycol. PET-G can be easily extruded into a variety of shapes.

Epoxy Oil

Epoxy Oil is also known as Epoxidized Soybean Oil. It may be a mixture of Triglycerides. It is a viscous liquid with a yellowish tinge. Epoxy Oil is produced through an epoxidation process. Polyunsaturated Vegetable Oils are used as precursors for the epoxidation process because they have high carbon-carbon double bonds. A peroxide or peracid is then used to add an atom of Oxygen. This additional Oxygen atom converts the Carbon-Carbon bond into an Epoxide group. Epoxidation of Soybean Oil is followed by Transesterification of the Soybean Oil followed by the Epoxidation of Esters. In the Transesterification process, excess allyl alcohol reacts with Triglyceride. Transesterification results in a Soybean based Epoxy Resin. It may be cured using a curing agent.

Usage

Epoxy Oil is mainly used for preparation of Coatings, Adhesives, and Composite Materials like Carbon Fibre and Fibreglass reinforcements. They are also used in Industrial Tooling applications like moulds, master models, laminates, castings, and fixtures. The electronics industry uses Epoxy Oils for making motors, generators, transformers, switchgear, bushings, and insulators.
