Industrial packaging
ArcelorMittal provides a full range of steels for industrial packaging applications to safely and efficiently transport, store and protect valuable goods.
Steel’s inherent strength, impact resistance, sustainability, and ability to accept specialized coatings make it ideal for protecting sensitive, hazardous, or high‑value contents throughout complex industrial supply chains. From drums and strapping to shipping containers, intermediate bulk containers and tanks, steel packaging provides the durability and reliability required to keep products secure from origin to destination.
ArcelorMittal supplies a broad range of flat steel products engineered specifically for industrial packaging, including hot‑rolled, cold‑rolled, coated, and high‑strength dual‑phase grades. These materials deliver the formability, corrosion resistance, and structural performance needed for demanding applications such as steel drums, IBCs, ISO container structures and LPG cylinders. Tinplate and chrome‑coated steels support drum and closure manufacturing, while hot‑rolled P‑grades and dual‑phase steels like DP600 provide the strength and reliability required for pressure‑bearing gas containers.
Drums
Steel drums deliver reliable product protection and lifecycle value in demanding handling and transport environments. Drum bodies require a precise balance of ductility and strength to withstand drop testing without splitting, while drum ends must be formable enough to accept threaded inserts and create secure lock seams. For added corrosion protection and performance stability, a Ni‑flash surface treatment is recommended.
Intermodal containers
Shipping containers rely on weathering‑grade steels engineered to resist corrosion during extended overseas exposure. High‑strength variants enable weight reduction for increased payload capacity while maintaining the structural performance required for stacking, lifting and global transport conditions.
Tanks and cylinders
Tanks and cylinders must endure the internal pressures and operational stresses of compressed and liquefied gases. These applications demand steels with high strength, excellent formability for deep‑drawn or welded shells and dependable resistance to fatigue and corrosion — ensuring safe, long‑term integrity and leak‑free performance.
