Modern construction, industry and even many adjacent spheres, such as design, could hardly develop dynamically without the use of such material as metal. Today, metal structures are actively involved in almost all areas of human activity. Over time, there are more and more techniques for their operation, more and more innovative and even high -tech.
The main spheres
It is customary to distinguish metal structures by many parameters, from general purpose and ending with the composition and size. Day by day they become more durable, light, mobile and modular thanks to the efforts of a large staff of engineers and testing technicians. Chemists also make their invaluable contribution, developing all new means of protecting the material from natural aging factors, as well as the harmful effects of aggressive environments.
Construction of roads, bridges and tunnels. It is not possible without the construction of strong steel supports and frames. Safety margins in this case are carefully calculated by specialists. To increase it, special substances are used that prevent corrosion and aging of the metal.
Power lines, towers, transformers, etc. The main parameter in this area is the regulation of electrical conductivity. Engineers and scientists from all over the Russian Federation are working on the creation of specialized systems. Various additives and lubricants can increase or, conversely, reduce the electrical conductivity of the material.
Supports, building frames, reinforced concrete products and other products are perhaps the most voluminous and heavy structures. Their installation is usually carried out at the construction site with the help of specialists in the field of welding.
Reservoirs and tanks. Special Section. The fact is that in order to store many substances, for example, fuel, the material must be treated with a specialized mixture that prevents sudden ignition.
Stair structures and fences. The most designer of all the above areas. Artists and interior designers work in this area. Steel structures are also coated with anti-corrosion agents.
Year by year, the number of applications for metal structures is growing as well as the ingenuity of engineers.
