Steel in the metallurgical industry

The applications of steel in the metal industry

As specialists in steel sheets and with the experience of more than 15 years distributing materials to the metallurgical sector throughout Spain, we can say that the applications of steel are multiple. There are many territories in which we have distributed steel, with the areas of Valencia, the Basque Country or Zaragoza being the ones where we have worked most frequently due to their great growth and projection in the metallurgical industry.

When we talk about the metallurgical industry, we refer to all those activities whose main material is worked with is metal and its derivatives, such as steel. As we well know, steel is a type of alloy of iron and carbon, and depending on the treatment to which it is subjected, it can have a different hardness, elasticity, resistance or ductility. The application of steel is so wide that we would highlight the following sectors:

  • Construction Steel
  • Steel for Metallurgy & Fabrication
  • Automotive Steel
  • Steel for Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
  • Steel for Energy & Mining
  • Steel for Industrial Furniture Manufacturers

Due to the great advances in recent years, we are currently facing a highly technical industry, which requires large investments in R+D to optimize processes and develop new materials. Automation and industry 4.0 are transforming metallurgical processes and moving towards greater sustainability. At Ferros Texar we work daily to follow quality and sustainability standards in all our processes.

Our transport service guarantees the delivery of steel sheets in 24-48 hours, guaranteeing a commitment throughout the territory of the peninsula. The growth in industrialisation in the areas of the Valencian Community, the Basque Country and Aragon (specifically Zaragoza) has made our presence in these areas more constant. The three regions share with us and with each other, some points such as the commitment to innovation, internationalisation and sustainability. It is true that each one has its own strengths and specialisations and it is precisely in the specialisation of these areas where the diversification of the application of steel in the different industrial sectors is most highlighted.
