Metallikehys
Metallikehys, or metal frame, refers to a structural framework made from metal elements designed to carry loads and provide rigidity to a building, vehicle, or machine. It acts as a skeleton that transfers forces to foundations or supports, enabling stable shapes and open interior layouts.
In architecture and engineering, the frame typically consists of columns and beams connected at joints, with
Common materials include steel for strength and ductility, aluminum for lightness, and a range of alloys; stainless
Variants of metallikehys include tubular steel frames, which form a rigid “tube” around a structure, and space
Applications span buildings, bridges, aircraft and automotive frames, machinery housings, and furniture. Metal frames provide high
