Stainless Steel Bars vs. Carbon Steel Bars

Stainless steel and carbon steel bars are the backbone of many projects, from towering skyscrapers to intricate machinery. While both materials appear similar to the untrained eye, their distinct chemical compositions yield a range of unique properties. Stainless steel is celebrated for its corrosion resistance, attributed to the presence of chromium, which forms an oxide […]

Metal Testing Methods

metal testing

Metal testing is a collection of procedures and techniques to assess metal materials’ properties, integrity, and composition. These methods involves a range of assessments that include but are not limited to hardness, tensile strength, corrosion resistance, and chemical composition. By applying both destructive and non-destructive tests, metal testing yields invaluable data that can be used […]

Jeff and the firefighters are very excited with the continued support that Endura Steel provides towards their Firefighters […]

Understanding the Distinctions: Metalloids, Metals and Non-Metals

Metals and Non-Metals

Understanding the three basic categories—metals, non-metals, and metalloids—is foundational to materials science and has broad implications for multiple industries. Each category has its own atomic and molecular structures, focusing on electron configurations, bonding types, and their physical and chemical properties, such as luster, malleability, conductivity, and reactivity. Knowledge of this helps scientists and engineers to […]

Advantages of Carbon Steel Bars in the Steel and Metal Industry

steel rods

Carbon steel bars are elongated products made primarily of carbon and iron, featuring varying amounts of carbon content. They are distinguished from other steel bars by their increased tensile strength, durability, and malleability. It is manufactured through several processes, including hot rolling, cold rolling, and forging, influencing their final characteristics and applications. Tracing back to […]

Strength and Versatility of Alloy Steel

versatility of alloy steel

Alloy steel is a type of steel that includes elements aside from iron and carbon. These additional elements boost specific characteristics, such as strength, flexibility, or corrosion resistance. These elements range from chromium, nickel, and molybdenum to vanadium. The proportion of these alloying elements can be manipulated to produce steel with desired properties for particular […]

Things that are Surprisingly Made from Aluminum

Made from Aluminum

Aluminum is a material you might associate with beverage cans, airplane construction, or even kitchen foil. But, this lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal has many other applications that go far beyond what we often see around. Let’s go through some of the most unexpected items made from aluminum. They will reveal the metal’s surprising versatility and why […]

Prevent Rusting When Storing Steel: A Comprehensive Guide

storing steel

Before we get into the prevention methods, it’s best to understand the enemy: rust. Rust, scientifically known as iron oxide, is a corrosion process that happens when iron or steel comes into contact with oxygen and moisture. This chemical reaction gradually breaks the metal’s surface, compromising its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. To effectively prevent […]

How Stainless Steel Pipes are Classified
