Structural steelStructural steel is a category of steel used for making construction materials in a variety of shapes. Many structural steel shapes take the form of an elongated beam having a of a specific cross section. Structural steel shapes, sizes, chemical composition, mechanical properties such as strengths, storage practices, etc., are regulated by standards in most industrialized countries. Most structural steel shapes, such as -beams, have high second moments of area, which means they are very stiff in respect to their cross-sectional area and thus can support a high load without excessive sagging.
VictaulicVictaulic is a developer and manufacturer of mechanical pipe joining systems, and the originator of the grooved pipe couplings joining system. The firm is a global company with 15 major manufacturing facilities, 28 branches, and over 3600 employees worldwide. Currently, its headquarters is located in Easton, Pennsylvania. Grooved coupling pipe joining systems uses a roll grooving technique to join pipes and pipe joining components. A groove is formed on the outside of the pipes near the ends to be joined.
Brasagethumb|Brasage de composants électroniques. Le brasage des métaux, aussi appelé brasure, est un procédé d'assemblage permanent qui établit une liaison métallique entre les pièces réunies. Contrairement au soudage (soudure), il n'y a pas fusion des bords assemblés. Selon les cas, il peut y avoir ou non utilisation d'un . Le mécanisme du brasage consiste en la diffusion/migration atomique de part et d'autre de l'interface solide/solide dans le cas d'un brasage sans métal d'apport et de l'interface solide/liquide/solide lorsqu'un métal d'apport est utilisé.
