We often get to hear structural steel is the new age material and is extensively used for construction purposes. But, what sets it apart and makes it the most desireable element. And, it has also been suggested it brings down the cost considerably. We, at the Omni Steel Supply, as your metal fabricator in NY and the areas in and around Queens and Jamaica, thought of sharing a couple of things which can bring clarity in the lives of those who are exploring ideas to cut construction costs during the recent Covid 19 pandemic.
Why Structural Steel?
Structural Steel is unique owing to its composition and shape. Both make it better material for construction and especially when customized metal is required for getting the desired look for your house or the commercial complex. Let us begin with the composition of structural steel and then we can move to its shape which sets it apart.
Composition: Structural Steel has almost 2.1 percent of carbon content by weight. Now, what does this imply? It is regarded after iron, carbon is the most important element in steel in respect to its strength and ductility. So, this means as the content of carbon increases, so does its strength and lowers ductility. Depending upon the purpose of use, carbon content can be increased or decreased.
Yes, there might be a confusion on what should be the content of carbon for the structural steel required by you. We often face this query and to be honest, our experts feel, unless a client gets in touch with us and shares construction ideas or requirements, it is a little difficult to make suggestions. Omni Steel Supply professionals feel, each serves a different purpose and it is always the best move to talk to a client and refrain from giving generic suggestions, which can misfire and act like prophecies rather than being an informed help.
Shape: Structural Steel comes in various shapes, which shapes. This is the most attractive feature of the metal as it can be given the desired turn and twists based on the construction needs. It comes in I-shape, z-shape, L-shaped angle in cross section, then T-shaped cross-section, rod and bar. With so many options, working becomes easy and can be used for corners, specific areas, ornamental metal fabrication, for beams, Columns, edges, spiral staircase, lamps, tables, corner shelves, bookcase and many more.
