What are the different standard steel shapes?

● ANGLE BEAMS- are also called L-shaped beams, as these beams form an L-shape,
with two straight legs connected at a 90 degree angle.

● Angles - structural steel angles are the most basic form of structural steel.

● Beams - also called universal beams or H-beams, these structural steel beams have a
strong center to provide vertical support.

● Bearing Pile - Flange surfaces are parallel; flange and web have equal thicknesses.
● Channel Section - also called “U-channel” or “C-channel” depending on the piece, has
a profile similar to the shape of a staple.
● Angle Sections - referred to most commonly as “angle iron” by steel fabricators, are
shaped much as the name suggests.
● Hollow Structural Sections - often abbreviated to HSS, are circular steel bars that are
hollow in the middle.
● American Standard Beam - contains a rolled section with two narrow flanges with a
connecting web.
● Pipe - sections refer to cylindrical structural steel shapes that have a hollow interior.
● Bars - can be flat, square, or round, and manufacturers can often produce bars in
unusual custom shapes.
● Rolled Steel Plates - Steel plates are well used items in steel structures. They are
used for connecting steel beams, tensional members in roof truss etc.
● Structural steel - is versatile, strong and durable, so it's hardly surprising that it can be
morphed into almost any shape based on the construction project.
● Tee beams - are essentially half of a beam cut along the web so that the cross-section
looks like an uppercase T.
● Wide Flange - surfaces are parallel; flange thickness is not necessarily equal to the web
thickness.

3. What are the different varieties of structural steel and their common applications?

A type of steel called structural steel is used to create a wide range of shapes for building
materials. Because of its exceptional strength, flexibility, and durability, it may be used in a wide
range of industries, particularly manufacturing, engineering, and construction. Based on its
intended usage, mechanical characteristics, and chemical makeup, structural steel is made in a
number of types.

Common Varieties of Structural Steel:

1. Carbon Steel
○ Description: mostly consists of carbon (up to 2.1% carbon) and iron.
○ Properties: Strong, reasonably priced, but not as corrosion-resistant.
○ Applications:
■ Building frames (bridges, skyscrapers, etc.)
■ Machinery parts
■ Automobile components
2. Alloy Steel
○ Description: includes alloying elements like nickel, vanadium, manganese, and
chromium.
○ Properties:superior to carbon steel in terms of strength, hardness, and
resistance to corrosion and wear.
○ Applications:
■ Structural components in buildings and bridges
■ High-stress parts in vehicles and machinery
■ Oil and gas pipelines
3. Stainless Steel
○ Description: Contains chromium (minimum of 10.5%), which provides corrosion
resistance.
○ Properties: Strong resistance to rust and corrosion, aesthetically appealing with
a shiny finish.
○ Applications:
■ Architectural facades and building frameworks
■ Chemical processing equipment
■ Food and beverage industry equipment
4. Tool Steel
○ Description: Contains alloying elements like tungsten, molybdenum, and
vanadium, which provide hardness and resistance to heat and abrasion.
○ Properties: Highly durable and heat-resistant, but expensive and less flexible.
○ Applications:
■ Cutting and drilling tools
■ Dies and molds
■ High-strength machine parts
5. Weathering Steel (Corten Steel)
○ Description: A low-alloy steel that forms a stable rust-like appearance after
exposure to weather, which protects the steel from further corrosion.
○ Properties: High resistance to atmospheric corrosion without needing painting.
○ Applications:
■ Bridges and outdoor sculptures
■ Railway carriages
■ Facades and retaining walls in architecture
6. High-Strength Low-Alloy (HSLA) Steel
○ Description: Contains small amounts of alloying elements to increase strength
without adding too much weight.
○ Properties: Lightweight, high strength, and good weldability.
○ Applications:
■ High-rise buildings
■ Structural beams in bridges
■ Heavy-duty vehicles and machinery
7. Maraging Steel
○ Description: A carbon-free, low-alloy steel with high levels of nickel, cobalt, and
molybdenum, strengthened by aging.
○ Properties: Extremely high tensile strength and toughness.
○ Applications:
■ Aerospace and aircraft components
■ Rocket motor casings
■ High-performance machinery parts
