rakennusteräksille

Rakennusteräkset, often referred to as construction steel, are a vital category of steel products used extensively in the building and infrastructure sectors. These steels are engineered to possess specific mechanical properties such as high tensile strength, ductility, and weldability, making them suitable for bearing structural loads. The primary function of construction steel is to provide structural integrity and stability to buildings, bridges, tunnels, and other civil engineering projects.

The production of construction steel typically involves the refining of iron ore and scrap metal in blast furnaces or electric arc furnaces, followed by controlled cooling and alloying processes. Common types include structural steel sections like I-beams, H-beams, and channel bars, as well as reinforcing bars (rebar) used to strengthen concrete. Stainless steel and weathering steel are also employed in certain construction applications for their corrosion resistance and aesthetic qualities.

The selection of specific rakennusteräkset depends on factors such as the required load-bearing capacity, environmental conditions, and construction methods. Strict adherence to international and national standards, such as those set by ISO or specific national building codes, ensures the quality and safety of these materials. The recyclability of steel also makes it an environmentally conscious choice in construction, contributing to sustainable building practices.
