Structural Steels
Areas of Use: Buildings, Bridges, Industrial Plants, Industrial Structures, Scaffolding, and Platforms Structural steel has become an indispensable element of modern construction technology due to its strength and workability.
Automat Steels
Automaton steels are steels with low machining costs, usually due to broken chips in the rapid metal removal process. Due to their easy machinability, these steels are defined as the most suitable steels for machining operations such as longitudinal and face turning, threading, drilling and reaming on multi-spindle and revolver lathes.

Structural Steel
Structural steel is a type of steel widely used in the construction industry and in the load-bearing systems of structures. Typically characterized by a low carbon content, structural steels stand out with their high strength, formability, and weldability. Through various alloying processes and treatments, structural steel can be enhanced to achieve desired mechanical properties.
Properties of Structural Steel
Various features of structural steel make it an ideal material for construction applications:
-
High Strength: Structural steels can bear large loads due to their high mechanical strength.
-
Formability: It can be processed into different shapes to suit the design of the structure to be built.
-
Weldability: Structural steel can be easily joined using various welding methods.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Its resistance to corrosion can be enhanced with advanced surface treatment techniques.
-
Lightweight: Thanks to its high strength-to-weight ratio, lighter structures can be built.
Areas of Use for Structural Steel
Structural steel is preferred in a wide range of applications. Its primary areas of use include:
-
Buildings: Used in the structural frames of high-rise buildings.
-
Bridges: Indispensable in bridge construction for spanning large distances.
-
Industrial Plants: Used in industrial structures that require high load-bearing capacity.
-
Industrial Structures: Frequently used in warehouses, factories, and similar facilities.
-
Scaffolding and Platforms: Utilized as support systems for temporary or permanent structures.
Structural steel has become an essential component of modern construction technology due to its strength and workability.
