1. Rolled steel sections are available in various forms for use
in Steel Construction. Shapes, sizes and properties of
these rolled steel sections, Different steel members are
manufactured in the factories based their usage. Rolled
steel sections are casted in continuous casting molds
without any joints.

2. Angle sections
Channel sections
T- sections
Round bars
Square bars
Flat bars
Corrugated sheets
Plates
Thermo-mechanically treated bars

3. Angle sections are manufactured in “L” shape. It contains
two legs. Some angle sections contains legs with similar
dimensions are called as equal angle sections and some
contains different legs are called as unequal angle sections.
Angle sections are widely used for roof truss constructions
and for filler joist floors.

4. The channel section or C- section consists two equal flanges
connected to web at both ends. Channel sections are
extensively used in steel framed structures.
They are available in various sizes ranging from 100 mm x 45
mm to 400 mm x 100 mm. Corresponding unit weights are
58 N and 494 N per meter length respectively.

5. T section consists of flange and web arranged in “T” shape.
They are used in steel roof trusses to form built up sections.
Two angle sections can also be joined to get T section.
Rolled T sections size varies from 20 mm x 20 mm x 3 mm to
150 mm x 150 mm x 10 mm with 9 N and 228 N as their
corresponding weights per meter length.

6. Round bars contain circular cross sections and these are
used as reinforcement in concrete and steel grill work etc.
Stainless Steel Round bars are available in various diameters
varies from 5 mm to 250 mm.

7. Square bars contain square cross sections and these are
widely used for gates, windows, grill works etc. the sides of
square cross section ranges from 5 mm to 250 mm. They
are available in various materials and grades like stainless
steel square bars, carbon steel, alloys steel etc.

8. Flat bars are also used for gates, windows, grill works etc.
Stainless Steel Flat bars are designated with width of the bar
which varies from 10 mm to 400 mm. thickness of flat bars
will be from 3 mm to 40 mm.

9. Plain steel sheets are passed through machines which
produce bends by pressing them called corrugations. These
sheets are used for roof coverings.

10. Steel plates are well used items in steel structures. They are
used for connecting steel beams, tensional member in roof
truss etc. They are designated with their thickness which is
varying from 5 mm to 50 mm.

11. Thermo-mechanically treated bars or TMT bars are
manufactured by a special technique in which the red-hot
steel bars are suddenly quenched by spraying water on it.
So, surface of bar gets cooled down and inner side or core
of the bar still in hot condition.
The core helps the outer surface to be tempered. By this
combination of different temperature, the bar gains more
yield strength and exhibits good elongation at ultimate
failure.
Copper, phosphorous and chromium etc. are added in
manufacturing process of TMT bars which improves its
corrosion resistance.
