Roll Formed Steel Beams

Steel king roll formed teardrop step beams.

Roll formed steel beams.

The result a 40 60 lighter beam with the strength of steel and the versatility of timber. Hence these sections are recently used as beams and joists in buildings. However the vulnerability of aluminium in buckling due to low elastic modulus compared to steel and increased web slenderness of lcbs have raised the issues. Roll form rack starts as a coil of steel.

Roll formed beams can be installed slightly faster than structural beams plus there is nothing to forget or misplace as no bolts or loose parts are required. Types of roll form. Boltless assembly auto engaging safety clips resist beam disengagement and provide an audible click when secured. After the steel has been punched the steel is sent through rollers which shape the steel and give it the shape it requires for strength.

Roll formed beam pin connectors and safety locking mechanism provides an automatic engagement when the beam drops firmly into place on the roll formed upright column. The popularity of roll formed aluminium lcb has increased due to the efficiency and design of these sections. While it is flat the steel is processed through a punch that punches the holes which will later be used to attach the beams. Preferably the cold rolled steel beam is cold formed from a unitary piece of sheet steel.
