1. Construction field
SS400 steel is often used to construct the frame structure of buildings, such as steel beams, steel columns, etc. It can bear the weight of the building and is suitable for both small residential buildings and large commercial and industrial buildings. In addition, the mechanical properties of SS400 steel are sufficient to cope with various live loads carried by the building during use, such as the weight of people moving around and furniture placed. At the same time, SS400 steel has good processing properties and is easy to cut, weld and bend, making it easier for construction workers to operate flexibly on site and build the building frame quickly and stably.
In the construction of some municipal projects, such as the construction of high-voltage transmission towers, SS400 steel is also a good choice. Its strength can meet the support requirements of the tower under different environmental conditions, and it can be processed and manufactured according to design requirements.
2. Machinery manufacturing field
In the machinery manufacturing industry, SS400 steel is widely used to manufacture parts that require high shape and dimensional accuracy. For example, the shell of a small machine can provide a stable protective frame for the precision components inside. Its own good strength and toughness can withstand external impacts within a certain range. There are also components such as mechanical brackets that need to bear a certain weight or support the operation of other components. SS400 steel can meet such needs. And because the price of steel under this standard is relatively suitable, it is very attractive for some machinery manufacturing that has certain cost control needs but also has basic performance requirements.
3. Transportation field
SS400 steel also plays an important role in transportation projects such as bridges, vehicles and ships. In bridge construction, it can provide sufficient strength to support the bridge's own weight and vehicle loads during operation. For vehicle manufacturing, such as vehicle frames and other parts, SS400 steel meets design requirements with its reasonable strength and good processability. In ship manufacturing, it can be used to manufacture various structures of ships, such as hull frames and some non-critical bulkhead structures. Marine steel needs to have a certain strength to withstand the impact of sea wind and waves. SS400 steel can be used in some small ships or part of the structure of large ships.
4. Industrial facilities field
Making simple industrial shelves and other facilities is another use of SS400 steel. Industrial shelves need to carry the weight of goods and play an important storage role in warehouses and other places. The strength characteristics of SS400 steel can meet the requirements of different scales and types of shelf production. When manufacturing shelves used to store general materials or goods, SS400 steel can achieve a good balance between cost and performance.
