Section steel is one of the most commonly used types of steel in the construction industry. With their high strength and good load-bearing capabilities, steel sections play a crucial role in various fields such as design, engineering, science, and industrial applications. So, what is the concept of steel sections? How is this type of steel produced?
What is Section Steel?
Structural steel, commonly called section steel, forms into letter-shaped profiles (H, I, U, L, C) that serve as essential building components. Engineers and architects widely utilize these steel sections in constructing buildings, bridges, ships, industrial frameworks, and machinery because they offer exceptional strength and reliable load-bearing capabilities.
Common Types of Section Steel
- L-Section Steel: Resembles the letter "L," with high rigidity and corrosion resistance. Typical dimensions:
- Height: 100–900 mm
- Flange width: 55–300 mm
- Length: 6–12 m
- V-Shaped Angle Steel: Known for durability in harsh environments. Common types: V100, V200, etc.
- U Beams: Used in vehicle frames, towers, and interiors. Sizes include U50–U400, with widths of 40–500 mm and lengths of 6–12 m.
- C-Section Steel: C-shaped channels, available in galvanized or black steel.
- I Beams: Shorter flanges than H beams, ideal for high-pressure applications.
- H Beams: High load capacity. Standard dimensions:
- Height: 100–900 mm
- Flange width: 50–400 mm
- Length: 6–12 m
Quality Standards
- Alloy Composition: Iron, carbon (0.02%–2.14%), and additives (Mn, Cr, Ni) determine strength.
- Impurities: Sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) content define quality:
- Regular: ≤0.06% S, ≤0.07% P
- High-grade: ≤0.025% S/P
- Rolling Methods: Hot rolling (durability) or cold rolling (precision).
Production Process
- Mining & Processing: Iron ore is refined with coke/limestone in blast furnaces.
- Melting: Impurities are removed to achieve desired steel grade.
- Casting: Molten steel forms billets, slabs, or blooms for shaping.
- Rolling: Hot or cold rolling creates final products (e.g., I-beams, U-channels).
