Q & A

Structural steel is typically used for construction purposes and is designed to support heavy loads and withstand structural stress. It is commonly used for beams, columns, and other load-bearing components. On the other hand, sheet steel refers to steel that is formed into thin, flat sheets and is often used for various applications such as roofing, cladding, and fabrication of smaller components. In summary, the main difference lies in their intended use and the thickness/shape of the steel.

Hardening and tempering are two different heat treatment processes used to enhance the properties of steel. Hardening involves heating the steel to a critical temperature and then rapidly quenching it in a medium such as oil or water. This process results in increased hardness and strength, but also makes the steel brittle. On the other hand, tempering involves reheating the hardened steel to a lower temperature and then cooling it slowly. This relieves some of the internal stresses and improves toughness and ductility, making the steel more resistant to fractures. In summary, hardening increases hardness and strength but reduces toughness, while tempering restores some toughness without sacrificing too much hardness.

The main difference between hot rolled and cold rolled steel lies in the manufacturing process. Hot rolled steel is produced at high temperatures, allowing it to form and shape more easily, resulting in a rougher surface finish. Cold rolled steel, on the other hand, is manufactured at lower temperatures, making it stronger and harder, with a smoother surface finish. Additionally, cold rolled steel tends to have tighter dimensional tolerances and improved mechanical properties compared to hot rolled steel.
