Difference Between ERW and Seamless Pipe

Rolling metal and then welding it longitudinally throughout its length produces Electric Resistance Welding (ERW) pipe. Seamless pipe is made by extruding metal to the necessary length, whereas ERW pipe has a welded junction in its cross-section throughout its length....

Hastelloy vs Monel – What is the Difference?

What exactly is Monel? Monel is largely made of nickel and copper (52-67 percent), with minor amounts of silicon, manganese, iron, and carbon. It is a type of nickel alloy that is more resistant to corrosion than pure nickel. Monel alloys are resistant to corrosion in...

Difference Between Low-Alloy Steel & High-Alloy Steel

Steel that has been alloyed with a range of elements in total amounts ranging from 1.0 percent to 50 percent by weight to improve its mechanical qualities is known as alloy steel. Alloy steels are divided into two categories: high-alloy steels and low-alloy steels....

How To Prevent Stainless Steel From Rusting

Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant metal especially designed for industrial use. It is non-magnetic, has a relatively high melting point, and maxes out on the AISI 1040 grade. There are two main causes that lead to its corrosion: chemical reactions from salt or...

Some Little-Known Facts about the Metal Fabrication Process

Metal fabrication is a hugely popular industry in today’s economy. There’s no denying that there are many competitors in the field and any business looking to stay competitive needs to come out on top in various different ways, such as by submitting bids...

Grade 304: The Pillar Of The Stainless Steel Industry

Introduction to Grades 304 Grade 304 Stainless Steel is often referred to as the holy grail of steel. This grade has features like surface hardenability, small deformation when rolling, low carbon content, and low oxygen requirement. Grades 304 is a composite...

Difference Between Fasteners, Bolts, Nuts, & Screws?

What is a Fastener, Bolt, Nut, and Screw? A Fastener is any human-engineered mechanism that is assembled to enable either wood or metal pieces to be held together.  A bolt is similar to the nut except it has no screw threading on the outside edge. A nut is threaded...
