Advantage

• The excellent distribution of material around the axis of Tata Structura allows for remarkable strength properties.
• Tata Structura is available in two grades YST* 355 and YST* 310, which results in substantial steel and cost saving compared to conventional steel sections of YST* 250 grade.
• They are widely used for Compression columns across the world.
• Due to closeness of the section there will be higher torsional rigidity compared to conventional sections.
• The higher strength to weight ratio could result in up to 30% savings in steel.

*YST - Minimum Yield Strength.

• Due to lower weight and smoother profile, fabrication is easier.
• Tata Structura is easy to weld as the carbon equivalent is maintained low.
• Tata Structura is made of High quality Steel HR coils which enhances life.
• Minimum use of gusset plates expedites the fabrication process.
• Due to higher torsional rigidity and better moment resistance on both axis bending of hollow section is easier compared to open sections.
• The edges of Tata Structura are smooth without burr so it is easy to handle and reduces wastage.
• Tata Structura sections have good straightness as per IS 4923, so there is no requirement to straighten them.

• Less surface area compared to equivalent conventional sections results in time saved from painting.
• Less exposed surface area combined with superior quality raw material results in less corrosion.
• Smooth uniform profiles of sections minimizes dust and moisture accumulation.

• 30% weight saving has a direct impact on cost reduction.
• Fabrication cost is low due to the overall reduced weight.
• Lower weight of product leads to savings in transportation costs.
• Lower painting surface areas leads to a saving in painting costs.
