How is Cold-Formed Steel Framing Made? The production of cold-formed steel begins with the production of raw steel. This is made by combining iron ore or scrap steel with carbon in a furnace. Then, cold-formed steel framing is made from sheets of this structural steel. These sheets are fed through roll-forming machines, which turn the steel into c-shaped sections or other shapes (depending on the ...

CFS and structural steel differ significantly in terms of their production and framing methods. However, CFS is widely recognized for producing less waste, being light in gauge, and being cost-effective. Structural steel is carbon-based. Increasing the steel's carbon composition means it can be adjusted to have both strength and low elasticity. Typically, the carbon content of steel is adjusted de...

Metal studs are cold-formed steel components used for framing basement and partition walls just as regular wooden apparatuses. They are mainly used to support non-load bearing walls. On the other hand, metal stud framing is the process of erecting walls and panes using cold-steel components. Metal stud framing has two major apparatuses – the stud and the truck. Heavy gauge metal studs are used in ...

What would be the difference if applying the same insulation material to wood framing and steel framing. What effect will be? These questions are becoming popular in the construction industry. This article compares the light steel structure and the wood structure with the thermal performance. The comparison showed that the commonly practiced method of replacing wood with steel stick-for-stick resu...

Fabrication of light gauge steel framing is a process that uses raw materials such as light weight structural steel and light gauge steel to turn it into an object with a specific design and function used in buildings and building parts. Such fabricated items may have other uses besides in construction like in furniture, model & etc. The process of steel frame construction is carried out in sp...

The designs of light gauge steel frame buildings are designed according to permanent building specifications just like in reinforced concrete buildings. Calculations are made according to the load required to be carried. In addition, since they are significantly lighter than reinforced concrete, they are much less exposed to earthquake loads. This significantly increases the earthquake resistance ...
