316 stainless steel bolts What Are 316 Stainless Steel Bolts? 316 stainless steel bolts are high-grade fasteners made from marine-grade austenitic stainless steel (also known as A4 or UNS S31600). This alloy includes significant amounts of chromium and nickel, plus 2–3% molybdenum, which enhances corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich environments. At The Monster Builder, we understand… Continue reading 316 Stainless Steel Bolts Uses & Applications

Add Your Heading Text Here What Is Hollow Steel Bar? A hollow steel bar, also known as a hollow structural section (HSS), is a type of steel profile that has a hollow cross-section. Unlike solid steel bars, these are essentially tubes. They can be square, rectangular, or circular and made from mild steel or other… Continue reading Hollow Steel Bar Sizes, Uses, Prices & Fabrication

Perforated Plate Sizes and Applications What Is a Perforated Plate? A perforated plate is a metal sheet punched with controlled hole patterns (round, square, slot, or custom). You can use it to manage airflow, light, sound, drainage, and weight while keeping structures safe and visually consistent. In Singapore, architects, M&E teams, and fabricators specify it… Continue reading Perforated Plate Sizes and Applications​

Can Stainless Steel Be Welded? Can Stainless Steel Be Welded? Yes, stainless steel can be welded. It’s a highly weldable material when the right techniques, filler metals, and heat controls are used. Stainless steel welding is commonly done through TIG, MIG, or spot welding, ensuring strong, corrosion-resistant joints especially important for Singapore’s humid and coastal… Continue reading Can Stainless Steel Be Welded

Can Aluminium Be Welded? Yes, aluminium can be welded successfully with the right preparation and process. Unlike steel, aluminium has a protective oxide layer that melts around 2,050 °C, while the metal beneath melts near 660 °C. This difference, combined with aluminium’s high thermal conductivity, makes it more sensitive to heat distortion and contamination. What… Continue reading Can Aluminium Be Welded?
