16 Questions
What is steel?
Steel is an alloy made by combining iron and other elements, the most common of these being carbon.
What are the four categories of structural steel based on carbon content?
Low Carbon Steel, Mild Steel, Medium Carbon Steel, High Carbon Steel
How are steel shapes formed in the hot-rolled procedure?
By rolling hot steel in a semi-solid state at a temperature above the recrystallization temperature.
How are steel shapes formed in the cold-formed procedure?
By rolling sheets from sheets, plates, or flats in rolling machines or by press breaking at a temperature below the recrystallization temperature.
What are the three means of joining structural steel shapes together?
Riveted, bolted, or welded connections according to specification/standard.
What is the most common element combined with iron to make steel?
Carbon
What is the temperature range for hot rolling steel?
Above 1700°F or 950°C
