Rolled metal products
Steel bars, pipes, and rolled aluminum are versatile materials that find widespread use across many industries, including the maritime sector. The following types can be distinguished:
Rolled steel
Rolled steel is a long solid metal product, with the correct geometric shape of a circle, square, strip, hexagon, etc. It is widely used in construction, manufacturing and transportation industries. Rolled steel comes in a range of sizes, shapes and grades and is used for applications like building frames, bridges, reinforcing concrete structures, and making machine parts. In the maritime industry, rolled steel is often used in shipbuilding and repair for constructing hulls, masts, and other structures that require high strength and durability.
Rolled Aluminum
Rolled aluminum is a lightweight, durable material made by passing aluminum through rollers to create thin sheets. It has many applications in industries like transportation, construction, and packaging, and is commonly used in the maritime industry as well. Rolled aluminum is used for making shipbuilding components like superstructures, hull plating, and decking. It is also used for making boat trailers, fishing boats, and other smaller watercraft. Rolled aluminum comes in a range of grades and alloys, each with specific properties like strength, corrosion resistance, and workability.
Pipes
Pipes are cylindrical tubes made of various materials like steel, copper, or cast iron used in industrial and civil construction, manufacturing, etc. Pipes are also used in shipbuilding and repair for the manufacture of parts for various mechanisms. Pipes come in a range of sizes, shapes, and materials, including seamless and welded options.
