When choosing a gate, there are several important factors to consider. These include the size of the opening, the level of security required, and whether the gate should be a horizontal slide, swing, or vertical lift. Additionally, you'll need to decide between ornamental or standard designs, as well as the material—aluminum or steel. **Aluminum vs. Steel Security Gates** Although both materials may appear similar at first glance, their physical properties and internal structures reveal that the choice of material can significantly impact the performance and longevity of your gate. So, what’s the difference between an aluminum and a steel gate, and which one is best suited for your needs? Let’s explore the key differences and help you make an informed decision. **Steel Gates Rust, Aluminum Does Not** One of the most significant advantages of aluminum over steel is its resistance to corrosion. Steel is prone to rusting, especially in areas with high moisture levels. Even galvanized steel can develop rust over time, particularly at joints where paint may wear away. This can lead to unsightly damage and a shortened lifespan for the gate. In contrast, aluminum naturally forms a protective layer of aluminum oxide when exposed to air and water. This thin layer acts as a barrier, preventing further oxidation and ensuring that the gate remains visually appealing for years without maintenance. **What Are Aluminum Alloy Gates?** TYMETAL uses high-quality aluminum alloys such as 6063-T6 and 6105-T6, specifically designed for gate frames and tracks. These alloys offer superior strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. The structural integrity of the gates is maintained, and the lighter weight of aluminum allows for easier operation and lower energy consumption. Aluminum also provides more strength per pound than steel, making it a smarter choice for long-term performance and cost savings. **Aluminum vs. Steel Gate Roller Safety** Another advantage of aluminum gates is the safety of their moving parts. Steel gates often use exposed rollers that require regular lubrication and maintenance. Over time, these components can become stuck or damaged, leading to operational issues and potential hazards. Aluminum gates feature enclosed truck and trolley systems with sealed ball bearings that require no maintenance. This design eliminates pinch points and ensures smooth, reliable operation regardless of weather conditions. **Aluminum Gates & Gate Designs** TYMETAL offers a wide range of aluminum gate solutions, from heavy-duty cantilever slide gates that can cover openings up to 60 feet (or 120 feet when doubled) to vertical lift gates ideal for high-traffic areas with limited space. For applications requiring stability against wind and gravity, our box frame cantilever slide gates provide excellent performance and reduce strain on operators. Swing gates are also available for situations where a sliding mechanism isn’t feasible, such as uneven ground. **Extensive Inventory of Custom Aluminum Gates** No matter how unique your requirements may be, our team of experienced engineers and fabricators can design and produce custom aluminum gates tailored to your specific needs. We specialize in creating secure, durable, and innovative solutions for even the most challenging installations. **Matched-System Aluminum Gates Mean Highest Quality** Unlike other manufacturers, TYMETAL provides matched-system gates, meaning all components come from a single source. This ensures seamless integration, easier installation, and better overall performance by eliminating compatibility issues. **Your TYMETAL Corp.

Carbon Steel Pipe

Seamless carbon steel pipes are made of steel ingots or solid billets through perforation to make capillaries, which are then hot-rolled, cold-rolled or cold-drawn. The raw material of carbon Steel Pipe is a round tube blank, which is cut by a cutting machine into a billet with a length of about 1 meter, and sent to a furnace for heating through a conveyor belt. The billets are fed into the furnace and heated at about 1200 degrees Celsius. The fuel is hydrogen or acetylene. Furnace temperature control is a critical issue. After the round tube blank is released from the furnace, it is pierced through a pressure punching machine. Generally, the more common punching machine is the conical roller punching machine. This kind of punching machine has high production efficiency, good product quality, large amount of perforation and diameter expansion, and can wear a variety of steel grades. After perforation, the round tube blank is successively cross-rolled, continuously rolled or extruded by three rolls.

Seamless steel pipe is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow - liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids.

Hot rolled seamless steel pipe deformation process can be summarized as three stages: extension, perforation and finishing. Hot rolled seamless steel pipes is relative to the cold-rolled, cold rolling is below the recrystallization temperature of the rolling and hot rolled is carried out at above the recrystallization temperature of the rolling. Hot rolled seamless steel pipe can damage the refinement of the crystal grains of the steel, cast microstructure of the steel ingot and eliminate the defects of the microstructure so that the the steel organization compacting, improves the mechanical properties. This improvement is reflected in the rolling direction so that the steel is no longer at a certain extent isotropic; pouring the formation of bubbles, cracks and osteoporosis, under high pressure and temperature can also be welded together.

Hot Rolled Steel Pipes (Seamless Tube) in different size, specifications, grades & thickness as per the client's requirements. The range offered by tubes is available as per the international & national standard and can be available from us at affordable prices. These pipes are used in various application industry like shipbuilding, power plants, oil and gas, automotive, sugar mills and distilleries, cement and construction industries etc.
