How to Combine Steel Tubing with Other Materials for Hybrid Structures
Welding of other materials with steel tubing is a viable method to form structures of hybrids which are both strong and versatile. When used on its own in commercial and industrial applications, a single material may reduce the range of designs, or even raise costs. Complementary materials enable engineers and fabricators to exploit the distinct characteristics of the materials and still ensure the structural integrity. The hybrid structures have the potential to enhance the load-bearing, lower weight, and have enhanced resistance to the environmental factors.
