        You’ll find stainless steel almost everywhere, from architectural structures to cutlery. But what makes this versatile material so useful? Here we look into six common questions about stainless steel.
        Steel recycling is a key driver in the construction industry and at Edcon Steel, we’re proud to be part of an industry with such a focus on sustainability.
        Edcon Steel has your welding needs covered with our range of SpeedGas cylinders available for purchase and swap and go, including acetylene, argon, CO2, oxygen and nitrogen.
        The recent flooding disaster on the NSW north coast, coupled with COVID-19 shortages and shipping disruptions, has led to significant steel supply issues. Make sure you don’t get caught out when pricing jobs for later in the year.
        Here, we outline different types of tool steel grades and break down some of the most common tool steel grades in the market, O1 and W1.
        There are several ways of applying galvanised coatings, with each process having its own unique characteristics and performance. Here, our friends at Austube Mills delve into the advantages and disadvantages of various types.
        Increasing costs of raw materials, government-imposed restrictions, shipping container shortages…they’re all contributing to steel prices increasing. And they’re going to continue to go up.
        Metal is one of the most versatile materials. Thanks to its mechanical and chemical stability, metal can be processed in many different ways… the possibilities are endless! One of the most common methods of processing metals is heat treatment.
        It’s important to us at Edcon Steel that we continue to evolve and innovate our capabilities so we can provide our customers with the best service and results. In line with this, we recently upgraded our steel cutting facilities at both our Brookvale and Blacktown stores. The existing equipment was dated and increasingly inaccurate and unreliable.
        
        Architects and engineers know all too well the importance of steel protection. That’s because if steel is exposed to too much moisture, salt or heat, corrosion can quickly deteriorate the quality of your steel.
        Whether you’re welding or cutting, safety gear is a crucial part of ensuring your protection while working with steel.
