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 le
