The difference between I-beam and H-beam
Release time:
2024-06-18
The upper and lower flanges of H-beams are usually wider than those of I-beams. H-beams also perform better in terms of load-bearing capacity and stability, and their bending resistance is particularly good. Therefore, H-beams are more suitable for structures that need to withstand large loads, such as bridges and high-rise buildings.
The differences between I-beam and H-beam mainly include properties, classification, application areas, characteristics and processes:
Properties: I-beam is a type of steel with an "I"-shaped cross-section, while the cross-section of H-beam is the same as the English letter "H", which is a more optimized economical steel.
Classification: I-beams are mainly divided into three categories: ordinary, wide flange and light, while H-beams are mainly divided into large, medium and small sizes according to size.
Field of use: I-beams are widely used in various building structures, bridges, brackets and machinery, while H-beams are more commonly used in industrial and civil building structures, underground engineering and highway baffle brackets.
Characteristics: The inner and outer edges of the flanges of H-beams have no slope and are straight, which makes welding and splicing operations relatively simple, and can effectively save materials and construction time. The cross-section of I-beams is good at straight pressure and tensile resistance, but due to the narrow wing plate, its torsion resistance is poor.
Process: H-beams can not only be hot-rolled but also welded, while I-beams can generally only be hot-rolled.
In addition, from the appearance point of view, the upper and lower flange plates of H-beams are usually wider than those of I-beams. In terms of load-bearing capacity and stability, H-shaped steel also performs better, and its bending resistance is particularly good. Therefore, H-shaped steel is more suitable for structures that need to bear large loads, such as bridges and high-rise buildings.

The difference between steel coil and steel strip
Although both steel coils and steel strips are steel products, they have different forms and applications. Steel coils are mostly in the form of rolls, which are more suitable for industrial applications that require large amounts of continuous materials; while steel strips are narrow and long, which are more suitable for specific applications that require precise dimensions and high surface quality.

Steel pipes can also be divided into seamless steel pipes and welded steel pipes according to the production process. Seamless steel pipes are divided into hot-rolled and cold-rolled (drawn). Welded steel pipes are divided into straight seam welded steel pipes and spiral seam welded steel pipes.
