Mild Steel H Beam
Mild steel H-beams, also known as H-sections or H-columns, are structural steel elements characterized by their H-shaped cross-section. They are widely used in construction and engineering for their high strength and versatility.
Specifications:
- Depth (Height): Common depths range from 100 mm to 1000 mm or more, depending on the design requirements.
- Flange Width: Typically varies from 50 mm to 300 mm, with different sizes available to meet specific needs.
- Web Thickness: Generally ranges from 5 mm to 20 mm, depending on the depth and load-bearing capacity required.
- Flange Thickness: Usually ranges from 6 mm to 25 mm.
- Standard Lengths: Typically available in 6 meters or 12 meters. Custom lengths can be ordered based on project specifications.
- Common Grades: Includes ASTM A36, ASTM A992, EN 10025 S275, and S355. Each grade offers different mechanical properties suited for various applications.
- Hot-Rolled: Provides a rough surface finish, suitable for structural applications.
