Advantages and Uses of H-shaped Steel

H-beam, also known as universal beam, wide flange I-beam, and parallel flange I-beam, is a strip of steel with a cross section of "H" formed by connecting parallel flange plates on both sides with a middle web. There are two production methods: welding and rolling, but because of the complex welding process, unstable performance and other reasons, the usual production method is hot rolling production.
Characteristics of H-shaped steel:
First, high strength, compared with the I-beam, H-beam structure has higher strength, to achieve the same strength requirements of the material less than the I-beam, cost saving.
Two, the structure is regular, easy to join, more flexible in the structure construction, and can improve the utilization rate of space.
Three, good structural stability, H steel construction structure due to smooth and close connection, has high toughness and stability, suitable for frequent seismic activity areas.
Therefore, H-beam is widely used in steel structure, housing construction, Bridges, plant construction, ship skeleton and other fields.
