Is the metal structure the same as the steel structure?
Steel structure is one of the metal structures. Steel structures refer to ferrous or carbon steel structures. The metal structure will be: non-ferrous metal structure (stainless steel), aluminum alloy structure and so on.
Dissimilarity。 Steel structures can only be attributed to one of the metal structures. There are other building materials, such as aluminum alloys commonly used in curtain walls, aluminum or magnesium alloys for large roofs, or copper panels.
The metal structure is a general term, including the steel structure, aluminum alloy structure, etc.. Somewhere, the steel structure is confined to the structure made of steel. In the past, aluminum alloy structures were seldom used, and the metal structures were basically equal to steel structures. Now, the aluminum alloy structural design code has been promulgated and implemented, the aircraft also use titanium alloy structure, metal structure of the scope is more extensive.
