4 high-tech applications for metal that you probably didn't know about

In the last couple of decades, we have seen an increasing demand for high-tech products. The products' being sustainable and having a long life are becoming popular amongst consumers and buyers. High-tech products can be found across different industries. These high-tech products are manufactured using high-tech metals that enable the superior performance the products. The high-tech metals not only give long life and stable performance to the products but also give a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative.

High-tech metals are often very expensive as they can be very hard to find. Gold, copper, rare earth elements (REEs), scandium, platinum group elements (PGEs), cobalt, lithium, titanium, carbon steel, and zirconium are examples of high teach metals. The list of rare metals is not limited to the ones listed here; there are many more rare metals. Some simple applications of rare metals are in sensors that are used in several places, microchips used in electronic devices, and others.

However, these rare metals and products manufactured out of them can be hard to find, but with Khambati Industries you can easily find different types of high-tech metals and can even customize the products as per your requirements and specifications.

The easy availability of such rare and high-tech metals with us makes us one of the leading metal companies in the UAE. The Khambati Group is also one of the major steel manufacturing companies in Dubai. Let us see, what are the four high-tech metal applications that you probably didn’t know about?

Space Technology

Sputnik 1 was the first-ever spacecraft that was sent into space, sent in the year 1957. Most people get amused by the wonders of space technology and everything associated with it. The amazing wonders of space exploration become possible due to the use and application of different types of high-tech metals in it. A very commonly used metal in space crafts is gold. Gold is an excellent heat reflector. In space, where temperatures reach extremely high, protecting the spacecraft becomes an important task. Spacecraft are externally coated with gold to reflect heat, and even the glasses used in spacecraft are coated with a layer of gold. The helmets and other gear that astronauts wear when they go out on spacewalks are all coated with gold to reflect maximum heat.

If you are in search of any such rare metals, then Khambati Industries, being one of the major metal trading companies in the UAE, can arrange them for you in a short period.

Aviation Industry

It is predicted that by the year 2035, at least 7.2 billion passengers will fly. This number is nearly double that of the 3.8 billion passengers that flew in the year 2016. The rising number of air passengers indicates that the commercial aircraft sector will be rapidly growing in the next two and a half decades.

Currently, the aviation industry and commercial aircraft are one of the major contributors and producers of greenhouse gases. The increasing frequency of commercial flights will only increase CO2 emissions and pollution in the end. The aviation industry leaders in the year 2013 decided and planned an ambitious plan to reduce the carbon footprint caused by the aviation industry.

To achieve these ambitious plans chalked out by aviation industry leaders, special research must be done in aviation aerodynamics, propulsion technology, and research in lightweight metals. High-tech metals such as lithium, scandium, carbon steel, and aluminum alloys are strong and give the necessary strength to the aircraft structure while keeping the overall weight low.

Khambati Industries, one of the leading names in metal industries in the UAE, has a bulk stock of aluminum at any given time. So if you need aluminum for any of your special alloy manufacturing, we can promptly supply it.

Another lightweight material that is commonly used in the aviation industry is carbon steel. Carbon steel is a metal that is extremely light in weight but is very strong and can sustain heavy load impacts. Khambati Industries is a major carbon steel pipe supplier in the UAE. Along with carbon steel pipes, we also deal in different products made of carbon steel.

Renewable Energy

As the demand for energy increases, researchers and world leaders are trying to develop energy in a cleaner and greener way. Solar and wind technology is majorly used as a renewable source of energy production the world over. Both solar and wind technologies need different high-tech metal products to increase and improve their production. Along with energy production, there is an increased emphasis given to energy storage. Similarly, for energy storage, research is being done on developing new types of alloys that help in having a better energy storage infrastructure.

One of the most commonly used materials in different structures for wind energy production is galvanized iron. Galvanized sheets and pipes are used in various parts of windmills. Khambati Group is a leading galvanized pipe supplier in the UAE.

Electric Vehicles

Many countries have started promoting the use of electric vehicles since 2016. Electric vehicles reduce carbon emissions by a huge percentage. With the increasing demand for electric vehicles, the demand for batteries will also increase. At the same time, more research is being conducted to develop batteries that can increase the vehicle's travel range. High-tech metals such as copper, cobalt, and lithium are used in batteries to make them perform better.

Other metals, such as stainless steel, are also required in various components of a vehicle. Khambati Group is a major stainless steel supplier in the UAE that has bulk stocks of stainless steel products like pipes, tubes, and sheets.

Construction Industry

As the population continues to grow, the global demand for housing and real estate also continues to grow. Along with housing the infrastructure requirements of the growing population also increase. To keep the construction and infrastructure industry eco-friendly and sustainable many people prefer to choose sustainable and high-tech metals that give long life. High tech metals also enable the aesthetic appeal of a project and are increasing in demand. Khambati group is one of the largest steel companies in the UAE that specializes in the supply of high-tech products to the infrastructure industry. We are also major structural steel suppliers in UAE, structural steel is one of the core components that is required in the construction industry.
