Structural Steel

What is structural steel?
Structural steel is often used in construction to ensure that a structure will be physically sound. It comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and weights; however, all structural steel is used in load bearing structural frames.

How is structural steel made?
There are two basic processes for the manufacture of structural steel. Hot-rolled shapes including wide-flange sections, angles and channels are produced in steel mills utilizing EAF, or Electric Arc Furnaces. Hollow Steel Sections, or HSS, such as steel pipes and tubing are manufactured from flat rolled steel.
