After completing the required steel production process, the factories will package and transport the steel to the importer. This process needs to comply with strict storage and handling standards as it impacts product quality.1. Transporting steel from the factoryOnce the order production process is completed, the method of transporting steel depends on various factors, depending on the customer's requirements, such as:Weight of steelNumber of componentsForm of transportationGeographical distanceWeather conditionsDelivery time…Therefore, the importer needs to provide detailed transportation requirements and at the same time discuss with the factory to find the most reasonable plan, optimize time and ensure the safety of the package.During transportation, the product is firmly fixed to avoid being moved or bumped causing dents or deformation. Transportation vehicles are also carefully calculated so that no problems occur during travel.2. Preserve steel structuresWhen steel structures are waiting for export, they must be strictly and carefully preserved in warehouses that meet the following basic requirements:- The warehouse has a capacity of 0.5-1T per 1m2 for solid structures and 0.6-0.8T per 1m2 for other light structures. Arrangement of steel components must comply with predetermined procedures.- The warehouse floor must also be flat, dry and able to bear weight. When arranging products, ensure the following factors:+ Use concrete or wooden panels as support for steel structures, arrange them neatly into piles of multiple tiers to optimize space.+ The height of each pile must be less than 1.5m and the distance between two piles must be at least 0.75m, the distance between the edge of the pile and the transport road is less than 2m.- Arrange in a straight and tidy line, products do not come into direct contact with the background, the minimum height between the structures and the background is 20-30 cm- Arrange steel structures according to weight, usage needs and small details should be divided into areas3. Loading and unloading process of steel structuresUnder the ship's holdShore cranes or ship cranes use support tools such as cables and specialized hooks to access the ship's deck area to load cargo. Workers attach specialized hooks to both ends of the packages and stack the appropriate number of packages based on the weight and lifting capacity of the crane. The crane stops at a height of about 2 meters to perform safety checks before continuing to the required position. After the goods leave the hatch, workers in the ship's hold can install new packages. The principles, technical requirements and labor safety that need to be noted are as follows:Goods are taken from top to bottom, do not take one side as this will cause the package to be unbalancedShaped steel goods or long heavy structures need to use sharp cables or crowbars to lift the goods when threading the cablesOn the wharfWhen the goods are brought to the unloading position by the crane, workers use a landing hook to adjust the position of the package and let it drop gently and safely. Steel structures are transported by forklifts to the yard or unloaded onto transport vehicles as required. For the process of loading and unloading goods on the wharf, it is necessary to meet the following techniques:Goods must be padded in a stable and secure manner before the cable hook can be removed from the packageWorkers keep a safe distance from packages during the loading and unloading processOn yards and warehousesForklifts stack goods into piles under the guidance of the manager in charge. Goods are arranged in a certain order, ensuring safety requirements for height, size, and distance. The maximum height of each pile is 1.5m, the distance between piles is 5m, fixed with pads to avoid rolling and falling.4.

The chemical elements in steel alloys and their content can regulate the hardness, elasticity, ductility, oxidation resistance and strength of steel.Because of this diversity, we currently have more than 3,000 different types of steel. So how do these steel types differ in terms of grade, properties and structure? In this article, MRS Steel will introduce you to the 4 most common steel along with essential information about each type.Understanding the various types of hardened steel is crucial for selecting the right material for your applicationHow many types of steel are there?Steel is classified according to its composition, depending on the carbon content and elements. We have 4 steel types including:Carbon steelCarbon steel has two main components: iron and carbon, other elements account for an insignificant proportion. Despite having only two elements, steel variety is used for different applications by adjusting the carbon content.Low carbon steel: carbon content less than 0.25%, high ductility, specialized for making wires, bolts, pipesMedium carbon steel: 0.25-0.6% carbon content helps the steel have high strength and lower ductility than low carbon steel, used to make gears and rails.High carbon steel: carbon content 0.6-2% and often used to make nails and sharp tools. Stainless steelStainless steel is well known in the field of manufacturing medical equipment and instruments, but in fact its application range is much larger. They are iron alloys containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which imparts a bright finish and excellent corrosion resistance. Not only has its aesthetic value, chromium is also known for its extremely good oxidation resistance and high durability. Therefore, stainless steel is very popular, widely used in the field of household appliances, furniture,...There are 4 main stainless steel types, including:Austenic: High chromium and nickel content enhances corrosion resistance, good durability, easy to clean, used to produce kitchen equipmentFerritic: Economical due to low carbon and nickel content, known for its aesthetic appeal and bright finish, commonly used in the automotive industry.Austenitic - Ferritic (Duplex): The combination of austenitic and ferritic alloy increases the carbon content, providing twice the strength, ductility and corrosion resistanceMartensitic: Martensitic alloy undergoes rapid cooling so it has good plasticity and heat resistance, often used for making medical tools, scissors,...Stainless steel is renowned for its corrosion resistance and durability in various industrial applicationsAlloy steelAlloy steel combines many different elements with concentrations ranging from 1-50% to change the mechanical properties of the product. Depending on the proportion of alloying elements, we have 3 main types of steel including:Low alloy steel: total content of other metallic elements is less than 2.5%Medium alloy steel: total content of other metal elements 2.5-10%High alloy steel: total content of other metal elements is over 10%.In the fields of construction and household appliances, low alloy steel is preferred for its strength, thanks to the presence of elements like manganese, chromium, silicon, nickel, and more, all of which are under 10%.Alloy steel: Mixed elements for varied propertiesTool steelTool steel has high carbon content (0.7 - 1.4%) and low S and P impurities (< 0.025%). Going through the process of tempering at high temperatures and cooling quickly, repeatedly, helps tool steel be durable and heat resistant. They are often used in the fields of tool and machinery manufacturing.Depending on the final product, the source of tool steel materials is also different:Air - hardening: Increasing the chromium content in the composition helps steel to be exposed to high temperatures without deformation.Water - hardening: Steel is continuously cooled during the production process, used to make common tools.Oil - hardening: Tool steel is protected by a layer of oil against wear resistance, often used for knives and shears. Hot - working: This is a type of steel that can withstand extreme heat and is often used in forging or casting.Shock - resisting: Ingredients include small amounts of carbon, silicon, and molybdenum to increase the hardness of steel, suitable for hole punches and chisels.Learn about steel classificationsIn addition to the 4 common types of steel mentioned above, more than 3,000 remaining types of steel can be classified based on the following criteria:Composition: Content of steel, iron, carbon and some other chemical elements (Si, Mn, P, S, Cr, Ni,...).Treatment method: pickling and oiling method, hot rolling, cold rolling, hot-dip galvanizing,...Production method: Electric furnace, continuous cast,...Microstructure: Austenitic, ferritic, martensitic,...Physical strength: ASTM, JIS, BS,... standardsDe-oxidation process: killed or semi-killed,...Heat treatment: annealed, tempered,...What are different grades of steelSteel grade is a term used to denote the bearing capacity of steel. There are many different steel symbols associated with the "Production Standards Applied" of that steel. Currently, two typical steel grade classification systems include:ASTM: Alphanumeric classification represents the overall classification and specific properties of steel, such as ASTM A123, ASTM A53/A53 - 18,...SAE: Classification with 4 digits indicating steel types, alloying element content (first two digits) and carbon content (last two digits).Address to import genuine steel at good prices in VietnamAccording to WorldSteel's report, Vietnam shipped 19 million tons of crude steel in 2023, ranking 12th worldwide.

Overview of Mexico's Steel MarketAccording to the Association for Iron & Steel Technology, Mexico's steel production may reach 19.5 million tons in 2023, marking a 7.1% increase. Leading steel companies in Mexico include Altos Hornos de México (AHMSA), Ternium México, and Deacero, which specialize in products like stainless steel, cold-rolled steel, hot-rolled steel, and construction steel, greatly influencing the diversity and quality of steel in the Mexican market. However, due to various reasons such as market fluctuations, consumption demand, production capacity, or production costs, companies have to seek additional steel supplies from abroad, including Vietnam.2. Should Mexico Import Steel from Vietnam?Vietnam is a familiar and preferred steel import market for Mexican customers because of the following substantial advantages:Competitive PricingVietnam offers more competitive steel prices compared to many other countries due to its low production costs and large production scale. Rich in natural resources and minerals, Vietnam always has an abundant supply of raw materials. The country's cheap labor also provides an optimal condition to minimize costs.Consistent QualityIn recent years, Vietnam has consistently invested in advanced manufacturing technology, directly importing from the world's largest metallurgical equipment brands such as Danieli and Tennova. FDI-funded projects and steel mills enhance production capacity, catering to both domestic and international demands. Today, Vietnamese steel products meet the quality standards of demanding markets like the USA, Europe, Australia, and Japan,...Favorable Trade RelationshipsBoth Vietnam and Mexico are members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). This membership promotes positive trade relations, with Vietnam benefiting from a 0% tariff rate for many steel products, including flat-rolled, galvanized, plated, and coated steel when exported to Mexico.Rational Trade Defense MeasuresMexico has implemented numerous trade defense measures against steel imports to prevent dumping. The International Trade Practices Unit (UPCI) of Mexico's Ministry of Economy imposed anti-dumping duties on steel products from countries like China, Taiwan, France, and Germany, with rates as high as 78.96%. Investigations against galvanized and color-coated steel products from Vietnam began in August 2021. However, thanks to the efforts of the Vietnamese government, Mexican importers enjoy much lower anti-dumping duties compared to other countries, with rates ranging from 0-12.34% (effective from September 14, 2022).Advantages in Shipping ProcessVietnam's strategic location with over 3,200 km of coastline enables direct shipping to many countries without transit. The country is investing in building major ports to enhance cargo handling capacity and reduce waiting times. Numerous direct sea routes between Vietnam and Mexico, coupled with free trade agreements with various countries and regions, minimize trade barriers and bolster maritime transport relations. Thus, steel orders from Vietnam to Mexico are promptly delivered at optimized costs.3.

The construction and the manufacturing industry have contributed to improving quality people's life; However, this is also one of the industries that consume the most resources to implement. That is why the trend of using sustainable steel for projects is a solution to eradicate the problem of environmental pollution and climate change.Some highlight benefits that sustainable steel brings to your projectOver the years, buildings made of steel have become increasingly popular through the long-term benefits that it can offer. Steel is considered a sustainable material when it fully meets environmental criteria such as durability, saving natural resources along with recycling.Unlimited recycling lifeSteel possess metallurgical properties and is produced through smelting and casting stages, so the recycling life of steel is endless. After going through the recycling process, the steel can maintain the entire internal structure without any loss of strength. It can be said that steel is the main motivation that promotes the recycling of many industrial areas with a recycling rate of 95% for automobiles, the rate of 88% for household appliances of , and the rate of 70% for packaging made by steel.Moreover, scrap steel is one of the main raw materials for steel production, an average of 3 tons of scrap can be recycled 2 tons of steel. Some of the excessive scraps will continue to take advantage in other applications as dust and sludge in the steelmaking process can produce aluminum.Safe construction with sustainable steelSteel is a special construction material as they do not need to be handled at the site, most of the parts will be manufactured in the factory first and then the transporter will bring them to the building area. The installation of steel structures becomes faster and easier than ever with the participation of construction equipment, thereby reducing the risks of occupational accidents and significantly shortening the time to complete the project.Minimize the risk of damageSteel is a symbol of durability, most of today's steels are equipped with additional coatings that significantly increase the life when it can resist corrosion and rust by the time.The lifespan of steel in construction as well as in the automotive and consumer goods industries have been proven for decades. Due to its corrosion resistance to most external aggressors, steel is not necessary for maintenance. Sustainable steel has been making a certain contribution to the community economy and this is evident in the long-term cost-effectiveness that it brings.Reduce emissions to the environmentGreen steel has long been a topic of discussion among experts in the eco-friendly revolution. The trend of production and application of "green steel" in construction works or industries is gradually being supported when green steel still retains the durable advantages of origin steel together with eliminating the negative impacts to the environment.Currently, many manufacturers have used hydro breakthrough technology in creating steel, a technology that allows replacing fossil fuels with green hydrogen, helping to reduce on average about 90% of CO2 emissions into the environment compared to traditional steel production technology. The EU market has also officially imposed an environmental protection tax on steel imports, this factor has motivated some Vietnamese enterprises to move towards producing "green" steel to keep up with the manufacturing trend in the future.Sustainable steel for energy efficiencyThe building with a steel frame structure not only increases the durability, but it also brings economic efficiency to electricity. Steel structures have close connections and are impervious. Therefore, in the summer when the humidity is high, the building will avoid getting moisture outside, leading to the interior environment to ventilate. The user can get rid of the cost for dehumidifiers or air purifiers.In manufacturing applications, it is possible to utilize the heat and exhaust gas of steel to generate electricity, it is calculated that for every 1 ton of exhaust gas, 3 -4 kW of electricity can be produced. Applying the method of recovering heat and emissions from steel has helped many businesses be more proactive in their electricity demand, reduce input energy costs and significantly control emissions to the environment.Sustainable steel options for your projectBased on five benefits that we offer, it can be seen that sustainable steel has made a positive contribution to the overall context not only of the environment but also having certain impacts to the economy. Currently, Vietnam is one of the leading countries in steel production in Asia, this is an ideal destination for importers with a series of large manufacturers such as Hoa Phat, Ton Hoa Sen, Ton Dong A, ...At here, there is a diverse supply of steel from galvanized steel, HRC and CRC to pipe steel products or whatever you want about steel products.Responding to the trend of green technology to reduce emissions in the future, Vietnamese steel enterprises have also been implementing projects to establish green steel factories with a total capacity of 9.5 million tons/year. This is considered an important step in steel production technology in Vietnam to ensure the quality of the output steel fully meets the standards of greening criterias, it has been promoting the opportunity for the goods from Vietnam to export to European markets in the future.
