Structural steels form the basis for load-bearing components, frames, machine parts, and welded structures, combining strength, workability, and reliability. The appropriate grade depends on the load, machining, and standards, taking into account properties such as tensile strength, toughness, weldability, and dimensional accuracy. Discover below the structural steels supplied by Hetraco, including custom sizes, special products, and small batches.
Structural steel components form the basis for a wide range of technical applications in which strength, workability, and reliability are important. They are widely used for load-bearing parts, frames, machine parts, welded structures, shafts, plates, and components in fields such as mechanical engineering, equipment manufacturing, structural engineering, and the energy sector. Depending on the application, properties such as tensile strength, toughness, weldability, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality play an important role.

Properties of Structural Steel
Structural steel is available in various grades and types, each with its own mechanical properties and applications. Commonly used grades include, for example, S235, S355, C45, and other unalloyed or low-alloy steels. One application requires good weldability and formability, while in another application the emphasis is on strength, wear resistance, or precise tolerances. The right choice therefore depends on the load, machining, standards, and conditions under which the material will be used.
Material selection tailored to your project
When it comes to structural steel, it’s not just about selecting a standard grade. The dimensions, machining, tolerances, certificates, packaging, and delivery time of the components can also be critical to the success of an application. Hetraco provides support for requests where project specifications go a step beyond standard materials—for example, in cases involving non-standard sizes, small batches, custom items, or additional requirements regarding documentation and traceability.
