16 Questions
What is steel?
Steel is an alloy made by combining iron and other elements, with the most common being carbon.
What are the main methods of joining structural steel shapes together?
Structural steel shapes can be joined together by means of riveted, bolted, or welded connections according to specification/standard.
What are the categories of structural steel based on carbon content?
The categories are low carbon steel (c ≤ 0.15%), mild steel (c = 0.15% − 0.29%), medium carbon steel (c = 0.30% − 0.59%), and high carbon steel (c = 0.60% − 1.70%).
How are steel shapes formed in the hot-rolled procedure?
Steel shapes are formed by rolling hot steel in a semi-solid state at a temperature above the recrystallization temperature.
What is the temperature range for the cold-formed procedure of steel shapes?
The cold-formed procedure is carried out at a temperature below the recrystallization temperature.
What is the most common element combined with iron to create steel?
The most common element combined with iron to create steel is carbon.
What is the process of creating cold-formed steel (CFS) goods?
Stamping, rolling, or pressing thin steel sheets
What is the temperature range for hot rolling steel?
Typically over 1700°F or 950°C
What is the minimum yield strength required for cold-formed steel (CFS) construction?
At least 280 MPa
