What is structural steel?
Steel is an alloy, or mixture of metals. It is primarily made from iron. However, whereas iron is quick to rust and can also bend under tension, steel is created by mixing the iron with metals which improve the characteristics of iron. For example, steel can be harder, stronger and more rust resistant, dependent on the mixture of metals in the steel.
Structural steel is a category of steel. It has been specially created to have qualities that are ideal for use in buildings and structures. It has up to 2.1% of carbon forged into the metal, and this plays a key role in changing the qualities of the metal. Structural steel has a high strength and a low ductility. Low ductility means that the metal will not bend or deform under pressure; the high strength of structural steel means that it will not snap or crack under tensions. Structural steel is manufactured according to strict regulatory requirements to ensure that it is suitable for purpose.
What are the common uses for structural steel?
Structural steel is available in a variety of shapes and forms, such as the I-beam, the HSS-shape and the L-shaped angle. This means that it is suited to a variety of purposes. Some of the most common uses for structural steel are to build access platforms, railings, gates, pipe supports, skid frames or balustrading. Because structural steel is hardwearing as well as corrosion resistant, it is an ideal choice for many different types of components and installations.
