What Are Cold Formed U Type Steel Sections?

This steel sections are precision-engineered structural components manufactured through a sophisticated cold-forming process. As defined by the Steel Framing Industry Association (SFIA), unlike hot-rolled steel, these sections are formed at room temperature, resulting in superior dimensional accuracy and surface finish. The manufacturing process involves carefully controlled deformation of steel sheets, which enhances the material’s strength without compromising its structural integrity. This precision engineering ensures that each section maintains consistent properties throughout its entire length, making it ideal for projects that demand high accuracy and reliability.
