METAL

Question 1

most common metals in construction.

Answer 1

Carbon steel, Aluminum, Copper tubing and Stainless steel

Question 2

is one alloy that is prized in the construction industry for its hardness and strength. It is typically used to make beams for structural framework, plates for highway construction, and rectangular tubing for welded frames trailer beds, and bridges. It is also a material of choice to make rebar and hollow structural sections (HSS). Made by mixing carbon and iron together, carbon steel is classified on a scale of “mild” to “very high,” depending on how much carbon is present in the metal.

Answer 2

Carbon Steel

Question 3

also commonly used in the industry because it is resistant to corrosion, highly conductive and ductile. Because it is resistant to harsh weather, the metal is used in windows, doors, and wire, as well as outdoor signage and street lights. The metal is processed into sheets, tubes and castings, and also used to build automobiles and trucks, as well as bicycles and marine vessels. HVAC ducts, roofs, walling and handles made of aluminum are also frequently found in the building industry.

Answer 3

Aluminum

Question 4

is often used to construct pipes in buildings. is ideal for hot and cold tap water pipes in buildings.

Answer 4

Copper tubing

Question 5

among one of the oldest known building materials. It was used centuries ago to construct structures that still stand today, thanks to the corrosion and stain resistant properties of the metal.

Answer 5

Stainless steel
