Structural channel. The structural channel, C-channel or parallel flange channel (PFC), is a type of (usually structural steel) beam, used primarily in building construction and civil engineering. Its cross section consists of a wide "web", usually but not always oriented vertically, and two "flanges" at the top and bottom of the web, only ...
In a feature control frame (FCF), the ⌀ symbol tells you that the tolerance zone for the geometric tolerance is cylindrical. Abbreviations for "diameter" include ⌀, DIA, and D. D. diameter; delta. Abbreviations for "diameter" include ⌀, DIA, and D. For delta usage, see for example "delta notes". DIA[2] diameter.
Structural steel. Structural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a profile of a specific cross section. Structural steel shapes, sizes, chemical composition, mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices ...
In 1849, the method of producing an I-beam, as rolled from a single piece of wrought iron, [1] was patented by Alphonse Halbou of Forges de la Providence in Marchienne-au-Pont, Belgium. [ 2 ] Bethlehem Steel , headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania , was a leading supplier of rolled structural steel of various cross-sections in American ...
Bending (metalworking) Bending. A chimney starter, a sample product of bending. Bending is a manufacturing process that produces a V-shape, U-shape, or channel shape along a straight axis in ductile materials, most commonly sheet metal. [1] Commonly used equipment include box and pan brakes, brake presses, and other specialized machine presses.
Cross section diagram of standard strut channel. Basic strut channel comes in the open box section 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in (41 mm) square. A half height 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in × 13 ⁄ 16 in (41 mm × 21 mm) version is also available, used mostly where mounted directly to a wall as it has significantly less stiffness and ability to carry loads across an open space or brace.
Low carbon and stainless strip steel. McLouth Steel is a former integrated steel company. The company was once the ninth-largest steelmaker in the United States. The company was composed of three locations: the first in Detroit, Michigan, the second (and largest) in Trenton, Michigan, and the third in Gibraltar, Michigan.
A hot-rolled HSS-box section cut open with a bandsaw, demonstrating residual stress. A hollow structural section (HSS) is a type of metal profile with a hollow cross section. The term is used predominantly in the United States, or other countries which follow US construction or engineering terminology. HSS members can be circular, square, or ...
