What is I-beam steel?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I-beam is a type of steel profile, also known as Universal Beam. It is a long strip of steel with an I-shaped cross-section – hence the name “I-beam<\/a>“. According to the Euler\u2013Bernoulli beam theory, this structure has strong bending and shear stiffness but poor torsional stiffness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifications of I-beam<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The specifications and models of I-beams are expressed in millimeters as waist height (h) x leg width (b) x waist thickness (d). For example, “150 x 66 x 8” means I-beams with a waist height of 150 millimeters, leg width of 66 millimeters, and waist thickness of 8 millimeters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I-beams can also be numbered to indicate the main dimensions of the specification. For example, a No. 20 I-beam indicates that its height is 20cm. If the I-beams have the same height, the angle code a, b or c can be added after the number to indicate it, such as 32a, 32b, 32c, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Classification of I-beam<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Classified by cross-sectional form<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to the different cross-sectional forms, I-beams can be divided into ordinary I-beams, wide edged I-beams, and H-shaped I-beams. Among them, ordinary I-beams are a common type with high strength and stiffness, suitable for various building and mechanical structures. Wide edged I-beams have greater bending strength and load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for structures and bridges that require larger spans. H-shaped I-beams have higher cross-sectional modulus and load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for structures and components that require greater load-bearing capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classified by Material<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to different materials, I-beams can be divided into carbon structural steel, alloy structural steel, stainless steel, etc. Among them, carbon structural steel is a commonly used type with good plasticity, toughness, and welding performance, suitable for various building and mechanical structures. Alloy structural steel has higher strength and hardenability, making it suitable for structures and components that require greater load-bearing capacity. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and is suitable for various corrosive and high temperature environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other classification methods<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Classified by height
    The height range of I-beams is from 100mm to 900mm, and they can be divided into different models according to height, such as 8 #, 10 #, 12 #, etc<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Classified by thickness
    The thickness of I-beams usually ranges from 5mm to 25mm, and can be divided into different specifications according to thickness<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Classified by length
    The length of general I-beams is 6 meters, 9 meters, 12 meters, etc., which can be divided into different specifications according to their length<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Classified by processing method
    I-beams can be processed through hot rolling, cold bending, welding, and other methods, and can be divided into different types according to the different processing methods<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Classified by the ratio of flange to web height
    Wide, medium, and narrow flange I-beams<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In general, different types of I-beams have their own characteristics and applicable scenarios. When choosing, you need to consider the specific engineering requirements and conditions. At the same time, with the development of science and technology and the advancement of production technology, the types and performance of I-beams are also constantly optimized and improved to meet the needs of more complex and demanding engineering environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Performance characteristics of I-beam<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Strong compressive resistance: I-beams have a large transverse cross-section and can withstand greater pressure, making them suitable for beam and column building structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
