Most used metals in industry

Among the many different types of metals that exist, seven stand out as the most widely used in the industry. Each possesses unique properties that make them indispensable for various technical and security applications.

Steel is one of the most used metals today. It is an iron and carbon alloy, achieving great hardness and maximum elasticity. This favors industrial work, allowing customized solutions in railings, grates, and security elements.

There is also stainless steel (with chromium), which offers high corrosion resistance, ideal for humid environments.

Notable for its lightness and strength without compromising elasticity. Since it is non-toxic, it is used in food packaging (cans, bottles) and in profiles for doors and windows.

Metal of high hardness and corrosion resistance. It is used in alloys to improve surface finish and increase the durability of parts.

It is the most used metallic material in the industry given its great physical capacity. Fundamental in construction structures, tools, and enclosures.

Notable for its high electrical and thermal conductivity. It is the material of choice for cables, electronics, radiators, and heaters.

Adds hardness and corrosion resistance in alloys. Highly valued for its magnetic permeability in shields and in the manufacture of coins.

Used to improve the properties of other metals. Ferro magnesium is key in the manufacture of special steel for high-resistance safes.
