Why is steel an excellent choice for the production of seat rails?

Steel is an ideal material for the production of seat rails precisely because it offers many advantages in terms of strength, durability and versatility. In this article, we will examine some of the characteristics of steel in order to understand what makes it particularly suitable for making guides.

An excellent metal

Steel is a material composed of iron and carbon. Iron is the main component, while carbon is a key element that contributes to the hardness and strength of the steel itself. Their combination enables us to produce strong and durable seat rails.

There are different types of steel, each with specific characteristics that make it more or less suitable for a particular use. Stainless steel is a type of steel that is particularly resistant to corrosion. It is used in environments where it is important that the material does not deteriorate, such as in bridge construction or the manufacture of surgical instruments.

Carbon steel is another popular type of steel. Its main characteristics are its hardness and resistance to wear. It is used in many sectors, such as construction, machine manufacturing and the automotive industry. Stainless steel and carbon steel are just some of the different types of steel available on the market that can be used to make profiles such as seat rails.

Why is steel used for the production of seat rails?

Some of the characteristics just listed have already answered this question, but clearly there are also others that should not be underestimated. This material has been used for centuries in numerous sectors, including within the automotive industry. This is because it is a very versatile metal and its properties make it particularly suitable for numerous uses. It is in fact a material that is also resistant to:

• traction,
• compression,
• bending.

Its mechanical strength makes it very robust and durable, and it must be said that it is both light and easy to work with and shape. These characteristics also make it particularly suitable for making seat rails.

What makes steel ‘strong’

?
Steel is generally considered a strong material, but its strength depends on its chemical composition and heat treatment. Steel is strong because its molecules are formed in such a way that their atomic interactions are very strong. The iron and carbon molecules bond together very tightly, forming a solid and compact crystalline structure. Steel is also strong because carbon helps reinforce the structure of the iron molecules. Carbon bonds to iron molecules so that their atomic interactions are even stronger. These characteristics also make this material suitable for the production of seat rails.
