High-Quality Structural Steel

Angles

Steel angles, the first major category of structural steel shapes, are L-shaped sections formed by two legs meeting at a 90-degree angle that provide versatile support in construction. Hot-rolled from billets for precise dimensions and uniform strength, these angles are ideal for load-bearing applications where efficiency and reliability matter.

Types:

• Equal Angles: Legs of identical length (e.g., 3×3×1/4 inch) offer a balanced strength for symmetric applications such as framing, bracing, and general structural support.
• Unequal Angles: One leg longer than the other, designed to handle directional loads in frameworks, supports, and reinforced structures.

Channels

Structural steel channels are C- or U-shaped sections with a vertical web and two horizontal flanges, designed for efficient load transfer in construction.

Types and Applications:

• C-Channels (Standard): Feature tapered flanges for architectural and framing uses, offering strong vertical support in buildings, trailer frames, and general construction.
• U-Channels (or MC): With parallel flanges for superior rigidity, they are suited for supplemental beams, walls, roofs, and heavy industrial applications.

Strands

Structural steel strands, specifically prestressed concrete (PC) strands, are used for reinforcement in high-tension applications. Composed of high-tensile wires twisted together, these strands improve load-bearing capacity and reduce deflection.

Types:

• Unbonded
• Bonded
• Spiral Ribbed
• Indented
• Multistrand
• Coated

Available in 1×7 or 1×19 configurations, these high-tensile strands deliver exceptional pull resistance and reliability for reinforced concrete structures.

Tubings

Structural steel tubing, commonly known as Hollow Structural Sections (HSS), is a versatile component of high-quality imported steel products used in construction. Known for its strength, durability, and clean aesthetics, HSS tubing provides excellent torsional resistance and reliable performance in a wide range of applications.

Types:

• Square
• Rectangular
• Round

Such tubes are manufactured via electric resistance welding (ERW) or seamless processes. Commonly available in ASTM A500 Grades B and C, they provide high strength-to-weight ratios, making them ideal for columns, beams, and frames.
