The Hidden Mechanical Properties of Steel Driving Outstanding Roll Forming

In modern roll forming operations, the performance of a finished cold-formed steel profile is determined long before the material reaches the machine. The mechanical properties of the steel coil, including yield strength, ductility, tensile strength, hardness, and chemistry, directly influence how roll formers process light-gauge steel during punching, swaging, dimpling,…

Expert Guide to the Rise of LGS Panelization in the U.S.

Light-gauge steel framing (LGSF) — also called cold-formed steel (CFS) framing — has quietly shifted from a niche nonresidential product to a serious contender in mid-rise, multifamily, and increasingly single-family construction across the United States. The move to panelized, factory-built wall and floor assemblies is accelerating that shift. Below is…
