Mild Steel I Beam

Mild steel I-beams, also known as I-sections or H-beams, are structural steel beams with an I-shaped cross-section. They are widely used in construction and engineering due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and versatility.

Specifications:

• Depth (Height): Common depths range from 100 mm to 1000 mm or more, depending on the structural requirements.
• Flange Width: Typically varies from 50 mm to 300 mm, with different sizes available for various applications.
• Web Thickness: Generally ranges from 5 mm to 15 mm, depending on the depth and load-bearing capacity required.
• Flange Thickness: Usually ranges from 6 mm to 25 mm.
• Length: Standard lengths are typically 6 meters or 12 meters, but custom lengths can be supplied according to project specifications.
• Grades: Common grades include ASTM A36, ASTM A992, EN 10025 S275, and S355, each offering different mechanical properties and standards.
• Hot-Rolled: Provides a rough surface finish suitable for structural applications.
• Galvanized: Coated with zinc for enhanced corrosion resistance in outdoor or harsh environments.
• Painted/Coated: Available with various coatings to improve aesthetics and additional protection.

Applications:

• Construction: Used extensively in building frameworks, including beams, columns, and trusses in both residential and commercial projects.
• Bridges: Employed in the construction of bridges due to their strength and ability to span long distances.
• Manufacturing: Utilized in the fabrication of machinery, equipment, and structural components.
• Industrial: Applied in industrial buildings for support structures, frames, and overhead cranes.
• Infrastructure: Used in infrastructure projects such as highways and railway stations for structural support.

Advantages:

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Provides a balance of strength and weight, making it efficient for structural use.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications due to its adaptability in various structural designs and configurations.
• Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than other structural steel sections, offering good performance at a reasonable cost.
• Customizability: Available in various sizes, thicknesses, and finishes to meet specific design and performance needs.
