The Aço Cearense Group understands this well. That's why we manufacture high-quality steel parts in a wide variety of shapes and compositions. So, no matter your needs, you'll find the material you need in our warehouse. catalog.

What are the main products offered by Grupo Aço Cearense?

When visiting our website, it is possible to find a variety of products for construction, both in long steel, through SINOBRAS, and in flat steel, with Aço Cearense.

Check out our main products and their features below.

Steel coils

They are among the most widely used steel items in industry in general. This is a roll of long metal sheets, useful for manufacturing smaller parts, renovations of different structures or as a basis for other components.

Its final application depends mainly on the type of steel used in its composition. Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used, but you can also find carbon steel options, for example.

Galvanized sheets

THE galvanizing process consists of creating a layer of zinc on the part, which protects it against corrosion and other surface damage. For this reason, It is one of the best choices for structures that are exposed to rain or corrosive chemicals. for an extended period of time.

Aço Cearense's galvanized sheets are made to maximize durability and efficiency. They're exactly what you need for all types of construction and renovation projects, especially in open spaces.

Structural profiles

There are two factors that determine the structural strength of a steel part: its composition and its shape. This is the concept behind structural profiles, long steel pieces bent and welded into different shapes, according to the specifications of each project.

See, for example, the stiffened U-shaped profile. In addition to being made of high-quality steel, the U-shape optimizes weight distribution. This allows you to support a larger structure using a smaller amount of steel.

Tiles

To the metal tiles are another well-known steel component in construction. They are used in all types of structures, making them a practical option for roof coverings, warehouses, and more.

They can be made using different materials, such as zincalume or galvanized steel. This gives the structure more resistance. You can also find options in different shapes, which contribute to the aesthetic finish of the structure.

Trusses

Another example of the practical applications of SINOBRAS products is the steel truss. This is a frame made by combining long pieces with several knots along the structure. Some of these pieces are straight, while others form a zigzag pattern, connecting these components to each other.

As with profiles, the shape of this frame provides maximum support with minimal material. This results in a lighter, more durable structure with a better cost-benefit ratio.

Steel pipes

You steel pipes are very versatile parts in civil construction and industry. They can be used directly as part of any structure or can be shaped and bent to create smaller, more detailed components. That's why you'll find them on practically every construction site at some point.

Aço Cearense offers tubes made from high-quality steel, and also creates variations according to the desired length, diameter, and shape. Whatever your project specifications, you'll find something in our catalog that will help you.

Rebars

Another well-known figure in the construction industry is rebarA simple, thin, long steel bar that can be shaped and cut to perform various functions as part of a structure. Therefore, rebar is primarily used as the skeleton of any construction.

They provide greater flexibility to the structure without compromising its strength. This prevents cracks and fissures from forming in other components, such as concrete. Any modern structure makes extensive use of these steel parts throughout its construction.

Applications in Civil Construction

Steel is one of the most important components in modern civil construction. Thanks to it, large structures can be built efficiently and with greater durability. And companies of the Aço Cearense Group work to meet the national demand for high-quality steel parts.

Follow along and see some of the main practical applications of our products.

How are SINOBRAS rebars used in reinforced concrete structures?

THE steel and concrete These are two materials that work hand in hand in civil construction. While concrete provides greater rigidity and fills the structure, steel serves as a skeleton, facilitating construction and making it more flexible. This is important to avoid cracks.

Reinforced concrete, in turn, uses a rebar skeleton covered with concrete, forming blocks of different sizes. This allows the structure to take advantage of the best qualities of both materials, which can be essential to make certain types of construction viable.

Instead of using a solid concrete block, which is more prone to cracking due to its rigidity, steel mesh serves as reinforcement. It absorbs the pressure caused by the structure's weight and wind, making it much more durable.

What are the benefits of galvanized sheets in roofing and side enclosures?

Whether in warehouses, houses or other types of open-air structures, galvanized sheet is one of the best roofing materials. The material is highly resistant to oxidation and corrosion, which makes it ideal for places that are exposed to sunlight, rain, wind, among other factors.

You can apply this sheet to a variety of surfaces, including the walls of an existing structure. This metal covering, in turn, serves as protection for other, more fragile materials, increasing their durability.

Galvanized steel can also be used for aesthetic purposes. The clean, elegant appearance of polished metal blends seamlessly with a variety of architectural styles.

How do structural profiles contribute to the stability of buildings?

As we mentioned above, structural steel profiles are another very important resource for improving support and stability in civil constructionThe shape of these pieces helps distribute the weight of the structure without increasing the amount of steel. This means the building as a whole is lighter and more stable.

Depending on the project, they can be used as the foundation of a structure, forming the building's skeleton. However, they can also be used as reinforcement, providing greater stability to concrete-based constructions, for example.

How can steel mesh be used in slabs and foundations?

The practical applications of SINOBRAS products are not limited to large structures. All types of construction, regardless of size, can use our materials, especially steel roofing tiles and mesh.

As the name suggests, these structures are composed of thin, straight pieces of steel that intersect to form a grid. Their main application is as basis for the construction of slabs and foundations in buildings, playing the same skeleton role that we showed in other examples above.

Industrial Applications

In addition to significant performance in the construction sector, Ceará Steel Group It's also an important agent in the development of Brazil's industrial sector. After all, steel is an indispensable component for various structures and machinery.

Check out the practical applications of Aço Cearense products in industry below.

How are flat steels and steel coils used in the manufacture of machinery and equipment?

In the industrial sector, steel is a raw material in the manufacture of various types of machines and tools. From those used individually by professionals to those that are part of large production lines.

They can be shaped, cut, and welded to meet different demands within a structure. Depending on the type of steel used, they can provide specific qualities to the equipment, such as resistance to heat, corrosion, or impact. No matter the context, there's a steel variety to suit your needs.

How are galvanized steel sheets and structural tubes applied in vehicle production?

Steel is a lightweight, versatile, and highly durable material. Therefore, it's used in the construction of various automotive components, such as wheels, bodywork, and interior components. Galvanized steel sheets are among the most commonly used materials in its manufacture.

In this sense, greater resistance to corrosion and oxidation is essential for vehicles, as they are exposed most of the time. It is an extra layer of protection, which contributes to the longevity of the vehicle..

What are the main metal parts made from steel in the construction of boats?

The construction of modern ships also depends directly on the production of steel, which is the primary metal used in these structures. Because it's lighter and more flexible than other metals, yet still offers considerable mechanical strength, it's ideal for building heavy vessels.

Steel is found in various components, from the hull to the internal machinery. One of the most commonly used types is carbon steel, applied primarily to the exterior of the ship. It provides greater resistance to the entire surface and can be combined with other elements to provide greater corrosion resistance.

How are structural tubes and profiles used in the production of agricultural implements?

Whether it's machinery, structural construction, or harvesting, Aço Cearense products offer a wide range of practical applications in the agricultural sector. Considering that these components must withstand external factors, it's crucial to use appropriate materials for this purpose.

With the right composition, steel can meet a variety of demands, becoming more resistant to friction, wind, impact, rain, and other conditions. These are essential characteristics for any implement used in large-scale harvesting.

How is steel used in the manufacture of household appliances and metal packaging?

Steel isn't just used in large structures or as part of machinery. It's also present on a smaller scale, such as in packaging and home appliances. Even in these cases, when it's not the main component, steel can still make a significant contribution to the manufacture of these items.

Steel packaging, for example, is more durable and can often be reused or recycled, making it more environmentally friendly. In home appliances, you'll find structural parts and even electrical components that use steel as a base.

These are just a few examples of the practical applications of Aço Cearense and SINOBRAS products.
