Man has long used metal in construction. But almost until the 19th century, its use was limited to the manufacture of fasteners and the arrangement of the roof. Then the situation changed radically. In the course of human life, there has always been a need to use a more durable and versatile material. Archaeological finds confirm that mankind has long used metal products (as early as the 5th-6th centuries BC). For the first time, steel production in industrial volumes began to be carried out starting in 1856, when the Bessemer method began to be used. Then this process began to be improved. At first, S. Thomas - the Thomas process, then P. Marten - the open-hearth method. With the development of the metallurgical industry, the role of rolled metal in all areas of activity began to grow rapidly. And first of all, this affected mechanical engineering and construction.
Currently, rolled metal products have become an integral part of the modern construction industry. Over the past half century, the volume of construction throughout the world has been steadily growing, which in turn served as an impetus for an even more rapid development of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy. For example, in the US, 40% of all rolled metal is used in the construction industry. According to the statistics of the company "Euro-rating", in Ukraine since the beginning of 2017 there has been a steady increase in the volume of construction work. The first place is occupied by engineering buildings - +29%, the second - the construction of non-residential buildings - 27%, and the third - residential construction. In the world steel market, the last two and a half months there has been a steady increase in product prices. According to experts, this situation may not last long, as some seasonal decline will soon come, and prices will go down. low or high pressure. Due to its universal performance characteristics (strength, reliability, immunity to external conditions, long service life, and so on) and a large range of products, rolled metal products are widely used in construction. This applies to both the construction of capital multi-storey facilities, as well as private houses and small outbuildings.
Company "UTMK" ; sells the entire range of black rolled metal in Ukraine on the most favorable terms. We occupy a leading position in this market segment in the country, and cooperate with leading Ukrainian and foreign metallurgical enterprises. Thanks to partnerships and a balanced pricing policy, it is possible to buy rolled metal products in Ukraine at UTMK in a wide range and on the most favorable terms.
For what purposes is rolled metal most often used in construction?
Most often, rolled metal products in the construction industry are used for:
- Production of reinforced concrete structures and products.
- Arrangement of reliable and high-strength metal structures.
- Establishing columns.
- Organize overlays.
- Truss making.
- Installation of purlins.
- Establish flights of stairs.
- Laying engineering networks and plumbing systems.
- Roofing.
- Installation of fences and various types of fences.
- Interior and exterior finishing works.
- Wall and ceiling cladding
- Pipe laying.
- Production of doors, windows.
- Production and installation of drainage systems.
- In the elevator industry.
- Container production
The most common types of rolled metal used in construction
The most popular types of rolled metal in the construction industry are long products (rebar, rolled wire, hexagon, square). For example, in Russia, with a slight decrease in demand and production of other types of rolled metal, the output of this category of products, over the past 5 years, not only did not decrease, but also slightly increased - from 60.0 million tons to 60.3 million tons.
In Ukraine, in 2017, there is also an increase in the consumption of rolled metal and the key reason, according to experts, is the activation of the construction industry. In particular, the increase in demand for long products in 2016 was recorded at the level of 32% and reached 1.509 million tons, and for shaped steel by 20% - 224 thousand tons. Sheet (coated and uncoated) - by 20% and 24
