Niobium high strength steels in tall buildings
Shaping the landscape of today’s modern urban environment, high strength steels have enabled the design of more ambitious and complex high-rise buildings. Not only do these steels optimize design, they also bring significant benefits to fabricators and construction companies.
The higher yield and tensile Niobium microalloyed high-strength steels allow some products, such as sections and welded shapes, for the fabrication of structural elements such as sections and welded shapes, using less material. This results in significant weight savings. Using less steel reduces the time and costs associated with construction and minimizes the impact on the surrounding area.
