What is Hot Rolled Steel Gusset Plate?
Steel gussets are triangular pieces of metal that transfer stresses between connections, increasing the strength of the joints between the gussets. Steel gusset plates are typically fastened using bolts, rivets, or welds and are often used to connect beams and girders to columns or truss members.Hot Rolled Steel Advantages
Hot rolled steel plate and sheet typically requires much less processing than cold rolled steel, making it a lot less expensive. However, since hot rolled steel can cool at room temperature, it’s free from internal stresses that can arise from quenching or work-hardening processes. Additional hot rolled steel benefits include:- Increased malleability
- Numerous applications
- Less expensive than cold rolling
- High rate of production
Differences Between Cold Rolled & Hot Rolled Steel
The main differences between hot rolled and cold rolled steel are how the materials are manufactured. Hot rolling refers to processing done with heat, while cold rolling refers to processes done at or around room temperature. Hot rolled steel precut gussets provide a rougher surface than cold rolled steel gusset plate. High strength and highly formable HR steel gussets are easy to drill, form and weld.Read more about the basics of hot rolled steel and how it differes from cold rolled steel.
