Application of steel square in construction
Square products occupy an important place in the construction industry. Thanks to its versatility, strength and durability, it is used in a variety of areas - from frame construction to the construction of monolithic structures. This is a high-quality type of rolled metal with a rectangular cross-section with equal sides.
Types of steel squares
In the production of steel squares, low-alloy and carbon steel is used. There are two main types of such products - hot rolled and cold rolled:
- the first are produced by processing the metal at high temperatures, which gives them greater flexibility and strength, making them ideal for structural elements;
- the latter are obtained as a result of additional processing of hot-rolled metal at room temperature, which provides higher dimensional accuracy and better surface finish.
Main characteristics
— Strength. They have high strength and can withstand significant loads.
— Versatility. Used in a wide range of construction tasks due to various sizes and processing methods.
— Durability. Resistant to external factors, including precipitation and temperature fluctuations.
Areas of application
— Frame construction. They are used as a frame for light building structures, such as hangars, warehouses and trade pavilions.
— Monolithic construction. They are used as reinforcing elements to strengthen concrete structures, improving their seismic resistance and strength.
— Production of metal structures. They are used for the manufacture of various metal elements used in the construction of bridges, supports and other large objects.
— Decorative elements. They find their application in creating stylized fences, gratings, stairs and railings in architecture and design.
How to choose the right one
The price of a steel square depends on the quality and type of steel, the size and shape of the product, its surface treatment and production method. When choosing, it is important to consider the following factors:
— Purpose. Determine what purpose the square will be used for. This will help you choose the right type and size.
— Size and thickness. The dimensions of the square must meet the requirements of your project.
— Material quality. Check quality certificates and compliance with GOSTs or other standards.
The correctly selected material will ensure the reliability and durability of your structure, guaranteeing safety and stability for many years.
