Without structural steel, it's impossible to create stable buildings and skyscrapers capable of standing hundreds of floors high. Steel is a reliable construction material for many tool and equipment manufacturing processes. Structural steel is a strengthened steel material with exceptional weight-bearing capacity and longevity.
Let's answer four frequently-asked questions about structural steel below.

What Are The Properties of Structural Steel?Structural steel has an exceptional level of hardness that gives it top-level tensile and yield strength. It also has a high melting point that withstands the hottest temperatures. Structural steel also has an impressive elastic modulus rating, improving its weight-bearing capacity.

What Are The Types of Structural Steel?Structural steel can use special Euronorm 19-57 class metals or low-alloy carbon steel in the United States. Tempered alloy with exceptional corrosion resistance is a popular structural steel type in America, too. Structural steel can have an L, H, I, C, and T shape. Special HSS shapes are also used in some projects.

What is Structural Steel Used For?Structural steel is a foundational staple material among numerous modern houses, skyscrapers, commercial properties, and virtually any kind of structure. Its exceptional strength, durability, longevity, and performance make it a top seller in every residential, commercial, and industrial construction project.

What Is The Most Common Structural Steel?ASTM A36 steel is a universal-standard structural steel with 36,000 PSI yield strength. This characteristic makes it one of the strongest low-alloy steels available out there. They can combine with other high-strength steels through riveting, bolting, or welding.

5 Modern Equipment You'll Find in Today's Machine Shops

​Steel is one of the sturdiest and most resilient materials available in the world today. Without it, there would be no buildings, appliances, and top-notch machining equipment in modern machine shops. Processing it requires some top-notch equipment. Learn more about 5 such pieces of equipment down below.

Lathes
Every modern machine shop has lathes. These are excellent workpiece holders. Each lathe has a rotating component that holds the metal in place while you work on an exposed section. Thus, lathes create a uniform cut across their circumference. Depending on the size of the material being processed, lathes come in various sizes.

Drill Press
Drill presses hold a workpiece in one place for drilling with various bits and ends. They essentially work like power drills. The powerful ones used in modem machine shops are permanently attached to a workbench to help them achieve optimal stability and need less effort to drill through thick steel.

Milling Machines
Milling is an integral part of machining. It uses rotating cutters to cut workpieces on the side, just like a drill press. The sideways drilling makes milling machines useful for a variety of purposes, such as producing angled slots, boring holes in fixed workpieces, and more.
 
Honing Machines
Honing procedures make holes larger to meet the blueprint's base diameters. Honing machines can accomplish this and also help improve a metal workpiece's surface finish, too. A modern machine shop that enlarges holes and improves surface finishes requires state-of-the-art honing machines.
 
Gear Shapers
​
Gear shapers are closely related to honing machines. Instead of enlarging holes, shapers can cut internal gear teeth with their reciprocating cutter. The shaper's increased forward and backward strokes make it a powerful and essential tool in today's machine shops.
 RWD Tool & Machine achieves the most optimal cuts with outstanding precision for each component we produce. We've accomplished numerous batch and prototyping fabrication projects that businesses need. Call us today to get started.
