Roll Forming Equipment for Steel Studs and Track

Stud and Track in Framing: Benefits of using High Strength Steel Studs

Framing of the structure being constructed is the basic outline which offers support to other materials and makes the structure strong, durable and reliable. The construction of numerous high rise buildings, bridges and other super structures is made possible with the use of steel stud framing. Steel framed structures can effectively withstand adverse weather, wind and the seismic loads caused by hurricanes and earthquakes.

C Channel and U Channel Roll Forming Machinery

Characteristically, steel framing comprises a C channel and U channel fabricated with high strength steel and this material is chosen by the builders due to its typical qualities including:

• Higher strength to weight ratio than most other building materials

• 100 percent recyclable nature

• Stable dimensions that do not expand or contract with moisture content

• Consistent quality

A steel stud being inorganic in nature does not rot and high strength steel channels produced through roll forming technique also do not warp, split, crack or creep. Buildings with steel stud framing have shorter and more predictable construction schedules.

Roll forming proves to be the most apt process for the production of any metal stud. Along with steel studs, it is also used to produce studs, tracks and channels of aluminium, zinc, copper and other ferrous and non ferrous metals. The metals produced by roll forming are also used in a variety of other applications including automobiles, electrical and general engineering works. For a steel stud used in building construction, the stud building machine operating at room temperature adds a strain hardening impact and increases its yield strength to as high as 70 per cent more than virgin metal yield strength.
