Hot Rolled Steel

Hot rolled steel is steel that has been roll-pressed at very high temperatures. Hot rolled steel is steel that has been roll-pressed at very high temperatures—over 1,700˚F, which is above the re-crystallization temperature for most steels. This makes the steel easier to form and resulting in products that are easier to work with. Hot rolled…

Cold Rolled Steel

Cold Rolled Steel is essentially hot rolled steel that has been through further processing. Once hot rolled steel has cooled, it is then re-rolled at room temperature to achieve more exact dimensions and better surface qualities. Cold “rolled” steel is often used to describe a range of finishing processes, though technically “cold rolled” applies only…

Rebars

Rebar (short for reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or reinforcement steel is a steel bar or mesh of steel wires used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension. Concrete is strong under compression but has weak tensile strength. Rebar significantly…

Channels

  The structural channel, also known as a C-channel or Parallel Flange Channel (PFC), is a type of (usually structural steel) beam, used primarily in building construction and civil engineering. Its cross section consists of a wide “web”, usually but not always oriented vertically, and two “flanges” at the top and bottom of the web,…

H-Beam

A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the beam’s axis. Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending. The loads applied to the beam result in reaction forces at the beam’s support points. H beam is a structural beam made of rolled steel. It is incredibly strong. It gets…
