Abstract:
This paper describes the development of new metal-processing technologies that enable the control and improvement of the microstructure and properties of metals. This study investigates the impact of one such technology, laser treatment, on the surface of a thin sheet of non-alloy structural steel. This research aims to address a crucial challenge in expanding the industrial applications of thin-sheet steel products by developing a laser processing technology to create structural strengthening ribs, which can significantly influence the overall strength and stiffness of metal components.

Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
Bolting is another...
Structural Steel Products
Once shaped, the steel's final form emerges as a continuous length, which is then segmented by a hot saw into manageable pieces. These segments...
Mechanical Characteristics of Steel
The tension test is fundamental for determining tensile strength. In this test, a steel specimen is stretched using a gripping device until it breaks. The data collected during this test are used...
