Relevant FAQs

Q. What are the main types of steel?

Answer

There are four main types of steel commonly available. The first is carbon steel. It looks dull, matte-like, and is exceptionally strong. It is also the most common type of steel used accounting for around 90% of steel production. Carbon steel is broken into three main sub categories, low carbon steel (also known as mild steel), medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel.The second is alloy steel, which is made by combining steel with additional alloying elements such as nickel, copper, chromium and/or aluminum. This process improves the strength, ductility, corrosion resistance and machinability of the steel. The third is stainless steel, which is easily identified by it’s sheen. It is commonly used in the food, medical and architectural sectors. The fourth and final type of steel is tool steel. This is commonly used for cutting and drilling equipment due to the higher heat resistance and hardness they get from the alloys they have in them.

Q. How is steel fabricated?

Answer

Steel fabrication is the process of converting steel into steel structures that can eventually be used in construction or assembly. The main forms of steel fabrication include cutting, forming, machining or welding. Additional processes such as finishing and heat treatment are also available. The fabrication process is completed by highly trained specialist steel fabricators and welders. For more information click here.

Q. What is structural steel fabrication?

Answer

Structural steel fabrication is the process of manufacturing steel components that can then be used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures. The process involves cutting, shaping, and assembling steel components to create a final product that can then be used for construction.

Q. How is structural steel fabricated?

Answer

Fabricating structural steel involves a number of steps such as cutting, shaping, and assembling steel components. The fabrication process typically begins with the creation of detailed plans and drawings, which are used to guide the fabrication process. The steel components are then cut and shaped using saws, plasma cutters, and bending machines. Once the fabricated steel components have been cut and shaped, they are assembled using welding or bolting methods. For more information on structural steel fabricators in Loughborough click here.
