There is no variation in the metallurgical microstructure of the steel at galvanizing temperatures, and the galvanizing process is not sufficiently hot to cause any heat-treating effects on the ...

Steel structures face constant exposure to moisture, pollutants, abrasion, and temperature shifts. Over time, these factors lead to corrosion, reducing the strength and safety of bridges, utility ...

This pole suffered a failure in the welded seam at an overlapping slip splice. A tubular steel transmission pole generally consists of a series of welded assemblies. The pole shafts and arms are ...
