A real-time hybrid fire simulation algorithm is developed and tested to capture the expected behaviour of a steel column within a structural frame, considering the slow thermal expansion of the stiff ...

Microalloyed steels, often called High-Strength Low-Alloy steels (HSLA), are a group of materials that are strengthened by adding “micro” alloy concentrations to low-carbon mild steel. Microalloying ...

A project to build a 20-story hospital tower on the Henry Ford Health campus in Detroit has marked a worldwide first with placement of four W14x1000 steel columns installed at the bracing core at the ...

Iron is the main ingredient in various forms of iron and steel, but the various types of metals contain other elements as well. Sometimes these elements are unwanted; other times they're intentionally ...

In its purest form, iron is neither exceptionally strong nor hard - in fact, a block of pure iron could be cut with a knife. The addition of carbon and the removal of oxygen are what give iron-based ...

Investigating ways to create high-performance steel, a research team used theoretical calculations on 120 combinations of 12 alloy elements, such as aluminum and titanium, with carbon and nitrogen, ...
