How To Choose The Right MS Plate
Introduction Mild Steel Plates are widely used across construction, engineering, fabrication, machinery and industrial applications. However, selecting the right MS Plate is not simply about choosing a thickness or size. The grade, strength requirement, fabrication process, application environment and required dimensions all need to be considered before finalising the material. TSI Metals supplies MS Plates […]
Cold Work And Hot Work Tool Steel
Introduction Tooling applications often operate under demanding conditions involving high pressure, repeated impact, friction, elevated temperatures and continuous production cycles. The material selected for dies, punches, forming tools and other tooling components therefore plays an important role in overall tool performance. Cold Work and Hot Work Tool Steels are developed for different operating environments. Understanding […]
Understanding Alloy Steel Grades And Applications
Introduction Alloy steel plays an important role in industries where standard steel may not provide the required combination of strength, toughness, wear resistance and hardenability. By adding controlled amounts of alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, manganese and other elements, alloy steels can be developed to meet specific engineering and performance requirements. From automotive […]
