Mild steel
Versatile, economical and easy to work.
8.50
MAD/kg
7,850 kg/m³
Mild steel is a versatile choice for many projects. It offers good mechanical strength, is easy to laser cut and is well suited to bending, rolling, welding and painting.
Galvanised steel
Steel’s strength with improved corrosion protection.
16.31
MAD/kg incl. VAT
7,850 kg/m³
Galvanised steel combines steel’s mechanical properties with improved corrosion protection. It is widely used for equipment, cladding and parts in more exposed environments.
Stainless steel
Corrosion resistant with a clean, durable finish.
28.00
MAD/kg
8,000 kg/m³
Stainless steel is used in demanding environments and products where visual finish matters. It can be cut, bent, rolled and welded to suit the project.
Aluminium
Lightweight, strong and especially suited to weight-sensitive parts.
35.00
MAD/kg
2,700 kg/m³
Aluminium is much lighter than steel and offers good corrosion resistance. It is useful for mobile products, cladding and decorative applications.

Understand
before choosing.
Properties, benefits and uses of the main materials worked by Silazer.
01 · Material
Mild steel
Versatile, economical and easy to work.
Mild steel is a versatile choice for many projects. It offers good mechanical strength, is easy to laser cut and is well suited to bending, rolling, welding and painting.
Indicative price
8.5 MAD/kg
Density
7,850 kg/m³
Tracked thicknesses
1 — 10 mm
Benefits
+ Excellent cost-to-strength ratio
+ Widely available
+ Easy to cut and form
+ Very well suited to welding
+ Wide range of thicknesses
Considerations
— Can rust without protection
— Heavier than aluminium
— Finishing is often recommended for finished products
02 · Material
Galvanised steel
Steel’s strength with improved corrosion protection.
Galvanised steel combines steel’s mechanical properties with improved corrosion protection. It is widely used for equipment, cladding and parts in more exposed environments.
Indicative price
16.31 MAD/kg incl. VAT
Density
7,850 kg/m³
Tracked thicknesses
1 — 10 mm
VAT-inclusive basis: 400 MAD for a 1250 × 2500 × 1 mm galvanized sheet in Casablanca / Tit Mellil. Theoretical weight: 24.53125 kg at 7850 kg/m³. Other sizes and thicknesses are estimated proportionally by weight and must be confirmed with the supplier.
Benefits
+ Improved corrosion protection
+ Good stiffness
+ Available in many formats
+ Suitable for bent parts
+ A good choice for some outdoor uses
Considerations
— Cutting locally exposes steel at the edges
— Welding needs appropriate precautions
— Coating appearance may vary
03 · Material
Stainless steel
Corrosion resistant with a clean, durable finish.
Stainless steel is used in demanding environments and products where visual finish matters. It can be cut, bent, rolled and welded to suit the project.
Indicative price
28 MAD/kg
Density
8,000 kg/m³
Tracked thicknesses
1 — 10 mm
Benefits
+ Very good corrosion resistance
+ Clean appearance
+ Good durability
+ Suited to demanding environments
+ Wide range of applications
Considerations
— Usually more expensive than mild steel
— Protect the surface finish during fabrication
— Select the stainless grade for the application
04 · Material
Aluminium
Lightweight, strong and especially suited to weight-sensitive parts.
Aluminium is much lighter than steel and offers good corrosion resistance. It is useful for mobile products, cladding and decorative applications.
Indicative price
35 MAD/kg
Density
2,700 kg/m³
Tracked thicknesses
1 — 10 mm
Benefits
+ Approximately one-third the weight of steel
+ Good natural corrosion resistance
+ Modern appearance
+ Useful for moving parts
+ Good workability depending on alloy
Considerations
— Usually a higher material cost than steel
— More susceptible to scratches
— Bending behaviour varies by alloy
