🌟 Understanding Gloss Levels: 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙏𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙛 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝘾𝙤𝙞𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙂𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙮 🌟 Are you aware of the impact gloss levels can have on the look and performance of your steel products? Whether it’s the sleek shine of glossy steel or the subtle finish of matte, gloss can define quality and appeal. Knowing how to measure gloss accurately can give you an edge in delivering exactly what your customers need. 🔍 Here’s how to test gloss with a gloss meter: 1️⃣ Preparation: Clean the steel surface to ensure accurate readings. 2️⃣ Calibration: Set the gloss meter to a baseline, ensuring it’s correctly calibrated. 3️⃣ Measurement: Place the gloss meter on the surface. A higher reading indicates a glossy finish, while a lower reading points to matte. 4️⃣ Evaluation: Compare the results against your product specifications to confirm quality. Testing gloss levels with precision helps guarantee your steel meets industry standards, and—most importantly—satisfies your customers' expectations. This simple step can elevate the quality perception of your steel and strengthen customer trust! 💼✨ 📩 Have questions about testing gloss or need guidance on finding the right steel finish?

Great info here for fabricators. These are some of the small details that you need to consider for a project to turn out perfectly when you will be galvanizing.
Do you know what steel “blowout” is? It's a common fabrication issue we come across and understanding it can help you achieve better results in your projects. When two pieces of steel are stitch welded together, gaps are often left between each weld. During the steel cleaning process (pickling), liquid seeps into these tight cavities but can't clean the surfaces thoroughly. When the steel hits the 450°C molten zinc bath, contaminants are forced out at high pressure, causing a "blowout." Whilst it’s quite a fun spectacle, this can leave the tightly welded surfaces and surrounding areas of the steel partially ungalvanized. The solution? Allow a 2mm gap when fabricating your steel sections. This small adjustment ensures thorough cleaning and complete galvanizing of all surfaces, eliminating the need for post-sealing and preventing rust in those vulnerable areas. Have questions?

Good information for designer to incorporate prior to galvanizing.

Nobody likes long lead times for fasteners – and structural steel projects usually can’t afford them. When the cascading effects include increased costs, missed deadlines and significant business disruptions, you don’t have time to wait for critical components. Not every factor is in your control, but you can take steps to secure the products you need to keep projects moving. The best ways to make shorter lead times a reality include: ✔️ Using a supplier with an extensive in-stock inventory ✔️ Choosing a manufacturer that specializes in custom work ✔️ Setting up streamlined order processes ✔️ Making transparent communication a priority ✔️ Having rigorous quality and testing standards Strong supplier relationships are at the heart of getting jobs done on time and on budget. Learn more about how to lower structural steel lead times in our blog post: https://hubs.li/Q02W7sZQ0 Author: Eric Smith, General Manager #StructuralSteel #LeadTimes #FastenerSuppliers

Understanding ASTM A554: Strong, Reliable Stainless Steel Tubes ASTM A554 is a code from the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) that ensures quality for welded stainless steel tubes used in various machines and projects. Here's the key: ➡️ Material: These tubes can be regular (austenitic) stainless steel, magnetic (ferritic), or even a mix of both (duplex). ➡️ Applications: They're ideal for situations needing strong, corrosion-resistant tubes with a good appearance – think railings, exhaust systems, or even furniture. ➡️ Shapes and Sizes: These tubes come in round, square, rectangular, or even custom shapes – up to 16 inches wide and as thin as 0.020 inches. ➡️ Manufacturing: Made from flat steel sheets, welded together for strength. They use specific types of steel with precise amounts of key elements. ➡️ Flexibility: The standard allows for additional features depending on your project needs. ➡️ Measurements: Sizes are given in inches (most common) with millimeters for reference. In short, ASTM A554 guarantees strong, properly sized, and well-finished welded stainless steel tubes, making them a reliable choice for many applications. #ASTMA554 #WeldedTubes #SteelStandards #StainlessSteel #Krogman #KrogmanStainless #StainlessSteelSolutions
