Learn the key factors engineers should evaluate before ordering structural steel to ensure top performance, safety, and cost efficiency — with insights from Wu Steel.
Know Your Project Requirements First
Before you even think about placing an order, take a step back and assess what your project really needs. Are you building for strength, flexibility, or corrosion resistance? Every project has its own structural demands, and the right steel grade depends on load capacity, environment, and design. Skipping this step is like buying shoes without knowing your size — it just won’t fit right.
Material Grades and Standards Matter
Not all structural steel is created equal. Different grades offer varying levels of strength, ductility, and weldability. Always check that your supplier’s materials meet international standards like ASTM or EN. This ensures you’re getting steel that performs consistently and safely under pressure — no unpleasant surprises later.
Don’t Ignore Surface Treatment
From galvanizing to painting, surface treatment plays a big role in how long your steel lasts. Outdoor or coastal projects, for instance, need extra protection against rust and humidity. Spending a little more on coatings upfront can save you thousands in maintenance costs down the line.
