Structural Steel Bolting Balls: Connecting the Future, Securing the Cornerstone

In the field of steel structure, bolted ball, as an innovative choice of connecting node, is gradually becoming the preferred solution in modern buildings and industrial facilities due to its advantages of easy installation, removable and reorganisable, and low maintenance cost. Compared with traditional welded balls, bolted balls not only simplify the construction process and improve efficiency, but also give the structure greater flexibility and sustainability, which is an indispensable and important component in modern steel structure projects.

The core concept of the bolted ball connection technology is to use high-strength bolts to closely connect the components to form a stable and reliable node structure. Compared with welded ball, bolted ball connection does not require on-site welding and avoids thermal stress, deformation and weld quality problems that may arise during the welding process, thus improving the overall stability and safety of the structure. In addition, the bolted ball joint has higher adjustability, facilitating quick on-site positioning and adjustment, which greatly shortens the construction period. In terms of maintenance, bolted ball joints are easy to inspect and replace, reducing long-term operating costs.

In China, many large stadiums, convention and exhibition centres and industrial plants have adopted the bolted ball connection technology, such as the Shanghai World Expo Axis, whose spectacular steel roof is efficiently connected by a large number of bolted ball nodes. Overseas, such as the Sydney Opera House expansion project in Australia, ball-bolt connection technology also plays a key role in ensuring the perfect integration and stability of the expansion part and the original structure.
