Creating Structures Built to Last
The structural steel industry is an essential sector within the construction and manufacturing world. It plays a pivotal role in shaping modern infrastructure, providing the skeletal framework for buildings, bridges, and other structures. The industry's significance lies in its ability to deliver durable and reliable structures that withstand the test of time. Steel erectors, in particular, are the unsung heroes who assemble these structures, often working in challenging environments.
Current Trends and Developments
The structural steel industry is experiencing several noteworthy trends and developments:
Advanced Welding Techniques: In addition to the use of stick welders, diesel engine welders, and gas engine welders, the use of flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) has gained in popularity due to its ability to weld thicker materials with a higher deposition rate and produce more uniform welds. This reduces welding errors and improves productivity.
Precision Cutting: Plasma cutters are gaining popularity for their ability to make precise cuts in steel, reducing material waste and enhancing the overall quality of structural components.
Reliable Power Sources: Diesel generators and engine-driven welders have become indispensable for steel erectors. They provide reliable power in remote locations, ensuring uninterrupted work.
Efficient Preheating: American Welding Society (AWS) D1.1: 2020 Structural Welding Code—Steel requires preheating of steel used in the building of structures.

Preheat Steel for Structural Welding More Efficiently and Safely with Induction Heating
Efficient preheating of steel in structural welding is crucial, and while this process is just a small piece of a much larger job, it is integral for diverse infrastructure projects, optimizing efficiency and preventing future issues. Discover the various methods of preheating steel in structural welding using induction heating equipment.
Steel-Aluminum Welding: Issues and Work-Arounds
Steel and aluminum (and its alloys) are among the most widely used structural materials in the world. Steel has been used by human beings for several millennia in construction, transportation, warfare and many other industries.
The Role of Submerged Arc Welding in Heavy Fabrication
The submerged arc welding process (SAW) is a specialized metal joining method applied when you need to weld extreme thicknesses and achieve exceptional weld quality. It offers an extremely high metal deposition rate while providing high weld accuracy, fusion quality, depth of penetration, and a low rate of weld discontinuities.
Can You MIG Weld Mild Steel to Stainless Steel
Can you MIG weld mild steel to stainless steel? The short answer is, in most cases, yes and an ER309L filler metal is typically used. However, understanding the nature of stainless steel and MIG is helpful to best tackle this dissimilar-metal joining application. In this article we will discuss how this process is possible and what its applications are.
