Framing of a construction project is the basic structure around which the other materials rely for support. The strength, durability and endurance of steel make it a good choice for framing.
The construction of super structures, bridges and high rise buildings has been made possible with steel framing roll former. Steel framed buildings are designed to withstand adverse weather, wind and seismic loads caused by hurricanes and earthquakes. A building with a 'heart' of steel is indeed designed to stand the test of time.
Some typical benefits of steel framing include:
- Short and predictable construction schedule
- Higher strength to weight ratio than most other building materials
- 100 percent recyclable nature
- Inorganic material that does not rot, warp, split, crack or creep
- Stable dimensions that do not expand or contract with moisture content
- Consistent Quality
The cost effective technique that can be used to create high strength steel for framing, is roll forming. It is a continuous metal forming process used to fabricate shapes of identical cross section. Roll forming augments the metal with rigidity and strength and has distinct advantages over alternative metal forming methodologies like brake pressing, stamping and folding. Some of these are:
- Ability to create longer dimensions for the metal.
- Consistency and uniformity of profile.
- Very close and tight tolerance.
- Inclusion of all secondary operations in same process.
- Superior surface finish
With roll forming, the production of high strength structural steel for a variety of engineering applications, is made simple and cost effective.
