A guide to HSS

    HSS, short for Hollow Structural Steel, is generally produces by cold-formed technique. The most common seen cold-formed methods are:

    1. Cold-forming into a round shape at first, closing the section using electric resistance welding (ERW), and then potentially cold-shaping into a square or rectangular section. Products can be complied with ASTM A500 (ASTM, 2013), A847 (ASTM, 2014a), A1085 (ASTM, 2015a), CSA G40 (CSA, 2013) or even the ASTM A53 (ASTM, 2012) pipe specification.

    2. Cold-forming into a square or rectangular shape directly, and closing the section using electric resistance welding. Products can be be complied with ASTM A500, A847 or A1085 specifications.

    3. Cold-forming directly to a square or rectangular shape, and closing the section using submerged arc welding (SAW).

    Hollow Structural Steel should conform to ASTM A1065

What are electric welding (EFW) and resistance welding (ERW)

    Electric fusion welding is the combination of metal and metal by heating one or several consumable electrodes and the workpiece. Electric resistance welding is a welding process that uses a strong current to pass through the contact point between the electrode and the workpiece to generate heat from the contact resistance.     The arc of electric fusion welding melts the metal and the filling material fully, and does not need to pressurize, and the filling metal part comes from the electrode.     Electric resistance welding is a type of welding method that uses resistance heat as an energy source, including electroslag welding that uses slag resistance heat as an energy source and resistance welding that uses solid resistance heat as an energy source.     Electric resistance welding often uses a large current. To prevent arcing on the contact surface and to forge the weld metal, pressure is always applied during the welding process. ...

Difference between GI and MS

　　Galvanized iron is iron which has been coated in a layer of zinc to help the metal resist corrosion. Steel can also be galvanized. When metal is going to be used in an environment where corrosion is likely, it is often galvanized so that it will be able to withstand the conditions. Even with galvanization, however, corrosion will eventually start to occur, especially if conditions are acidic. 　　There are two primary techniques which can be used to make galvanized iron. The most common is hot-dip galvanization, in which the iron is moved through an extremely hot bath of molten zinc, which may be mixed with small amounts of lead, depending on the circumstances. When the iron emerges from the bath, the zinc will have bonded, creating a layer of zinc on the surface of the iron. Sometimes, the metal may be passed through a mill to flatten and even out the coating. Another technique which can be used is electrodeposition, also known as electroplating, although this is rare.Once galvanize...
