Steel in Building and Construction

This is the nominative that generally is given to those Formed steel consist of two orthogonal plates forming an L. These elements have a very important utility in the manufacture of metalwork dimensional support elements, and because it has the same inertia in both axes, in such a way that can be fixed by one hand while the other flap provides lateral resistance. It is manufactured in two ways: hot rolling are obtained through what is called continuous casting processes and consist primarily of a device that distributes different manufacturing lines casting steel, the lines have matrices with the forms want to build profiles that can be channels L, T-straps, Section I standard profiles, etc, a very important element of this type of construction is steel wire which is not nothing but a metal product which is obtained by a Hot rolling process through a specially designed train for this effect, known as train Rolling, another major product is the deck plate or the same metal plates that are 6 m lengths of steel or other material its usefulness is very wide, are usually constructed from the final form as a product Aceria Acero.

The continuous casting molds are cooled by water and allow the formation of long stretches of the application is fundamentally the same structure as due to the manufacturing process are considered practically isotrope and isothermal, and configuration of constant material throughout its structure, therefore design techniques can be applied without difficulty (correction factors) to the structural design. Besides the need described above is formed to control the cooling conditions so that the steel is ductile angles as rapid cooling can cause an irregular tightening resulting in fragility of the steel product.

The composition of the steel product may vary depending on the application and the process used but is very common to find it with carbon contents of about 0.8%, proportions of other elements such as phosphorus of 0.48%, 0.30% manganese include cold rolling, get that name which is derived from the metal plate and after a machining process acquired its final shape, machining processes tend to be cut and folded, those angles machining due to stress concentrations occur along the same, they change their crystal structure tend to be tougher on these areas but also more fragile, which recommends the adoption of specific computational techniques, safety factors associated with this uncertainty in the charge distribution, have their main use the so-called ornamental metalwork or without no problem and are often cheaper than those for their manufacture is local while the first in their vast majority are imported and expensive the shipping weight.
