  2. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    In the U.S., the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its gauge. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge. Gauge differs between ferrous metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or copper. Copper ...

  3. Steel grades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_grades

    EN 10027-1 steel grade designation system. European standard steel grade names fall into two categories: [1] Steel specified by purpose of use and mechanical properties. Steel specified by chemical composition. The inclusion of a letter 'G' before the code indicates the steel is specified in the form of a casting.

  4. Metal profiles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_profiles

    Metal profiles sheets have a high recycled scrap steel content and all steel is recyclable. Many steel components can be unbolted and even reused for future applications. The possibility of reusing building elements makes steel construction even more sustainable than the already significant contribution of today's simple material recycling.

  5. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    The importance of the high-precision surface plate was first recognised by Henry Maudslay around 1800. He originated the systems of scraping a cast-iron plate to flatness, rubbing marking blue between pairs of plates to highlight imperfections, and of working plates in sets of three to guarantee flatness by avoiding matching concave and convex ...

  6. Structural steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    For steel structures the main harmonized standards are: Steel sections and plate – EN 10025-1; Hollow sections – EN 10219-1 and EN 10210-1; Pre-loadable bolts – EN 14399-1; Non-preloadable bolts – EN 15048-1; Fabricated steel – EN 1090 −1; The standard that covers CE Marking of structural steelwork is EN 1090-1. The standard has ...

  7. Plate (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_(structure)

    A plate is a structural element which is characterized by a three-dimensional solid whose thickness is very small when compared with other dimensions. [ 1 ] The effects of the loads that are expected to be applied on it only generate stresses whose resultants are, in practical terms, exclusively normal to the element's thickness.

  8. Cold-formed steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold-formed_steel

    When thickness less than or equal to 3/16" (4.76mm): The various possible welds in cold formed steel sections, where the thickness of the thinnest element in the connection is 3/16" or less are as follows Groove Welds in Butt joints; Arc Spot Welds; Arc Seam Welds; Fillet Welds; Flare Groove Welds; 2.When thickness greater than or equal to 3/16 ...

  9. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The typical thickness to width ratio of a plate structure is less than 0.1. [citation needed] A plate theory takes advantage of this disparity in length scale to reduce the full three-dimensional solid mechanics problem to a two-dimensional problem. The aim of plate theory is to calculate the deformation and stresses in a plate subjected to loads.
