Hot rolled steelS235 to S355 structural steels
Structural steels may be used in the building trade, for
instance in light structure buildings Properties Structural steels are carbon and manganese steels with guaranteed minimum strength (elastic limit and tensile strength) and satisfactory levels of ductility They are suitable for many applications and are available from steel stockholders and service centres in the most
commonly used size combinations and shapes Advantages Structural steels have a good aptitude for welding by all conventional processes. Generally speaking, when they are welded these steels require neither preheating nor subsequent stress-relieving annealing of the weld
In addition to their excellent mechanical characteristics they also have very satisfactory impact strength values Applications These steels are used in most sectors of the building and
mechanical construction industries
Applications include, among others, construction modules,
containers, tanks and profile
