Steel components is a type of steel used to mold into a variety of shapes and sizes. The same is possible due to its extreme flexibility. Structural steel is a commonly used material in construction.

Z-Shape (half a flange in opposite directions)
HSS-Shape (Hollow structural section also known as SHS (structural hollow section) and including square, rectangular, circular (pipe) and elliptical cross sections)
Angle (L-shaped cross-section)
Structural channel, or C-beam, or C cross-section
Tee (T-shaped cross-section)
Rail profile (asymmetrical I-beam)
Railway rail
Vignoles rail

Grooved rail
