General Information: Construction Steel |
||
The prime requirement of construction steels is to meet specific mechanical properties at the lowest possible price. The steels are therefore characterized by a code which indicates their guaranteed tensile strength in MPa (Fe 360) or their guaranteed yield strength in MPa (Fe E250). These steels need to be protected against corrosion either by organic layers (paints) or by a metallic layer (zinc). These steels can often be ordered in a coated form. They are low cost, general purpose steels which have excellent welding characteristics. They are usually less suitable for machining. |

Last november was a memorable month for us at Matbase, we passed the milestone of 1000 visitors per day. So I guess we were not that far of when we thought it would be a good idea to make the material database we used as students during our stay at the Delft University of Technology accessable to other people. Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
