H-beams, or wide-flange beams, are structural steel components with an 'H'-shaped cross-section, featuring wide flanges that provide superior strength, stability, and load-bearing capacity for large-scale construction, high-rise buildings, and heavy-duty industrial projects. They are thicker and heavier than I-beams, allowing them to span up to
and bear greater weight.
Design: The H-shape consists of two horizontal flanges and a thick vertical web, providing excellent strength-to-weight ratios.
Applications: Commonly used as vertical columns in steel-framed buildings, bridges, and for supporting heavy, large-scale structures.
Advantages: Offers superior durability, stability, and easier welding compared to other profiles, making them ideal for long spans.
Material: Usually manufactured from carbon steel, stainless steel, or high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel.
