Hot Rolled Standard Steel I-Beams
Hot-rolled standard I-beam’s construction incorporates two horizontal flanges and a single vertical web to form the characteristic “I” shape. Triple-S Steel® has a wide range of I-beam sizes available for on-time delivery to your facility or job site. ASTM A992 steel I-beams as well as ASTM A672-50 steel I-beams offered.
Steel I-Beam Materials and Benefits
Hot-rolled standard I-beams are most often composed of dual-rated A992/A572-50 structural steel. This low-carbon HSLA steel has the following characteristics:
- Chemical composition: Carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, vanadium, nickel, chromium, copper, molybdenum
- Tensile strength: 65 to 80 ksi
- Yield strength: 50 to 65 ksi
A992 steel also has excellent ductility, which allows deformation under stress without breaking.
The benefits of ASTM A992 steel I-beams are numerous:
- Strength-to-weight ratio: Crucial in the construction of large spans and tall structures
- Load-bearing capability: Flange and web configuration resists bending and shear forces
- Weldability: Straight profile allows fast and effective welding
- Machinability: Precise cutting and drilling during assembly
Steel I-beam is versatile and appropriate for both simple frameworks and complex truss systems.
ASTM A992 Steel I-Beam Applications
The benefits of hot-rolled standard steel I-beams make them ideal for various industry applications:
- Overhead crane beams in manufacturing plants and warehouses
- Power plant support frames for turbines and heavy machinery
- Structural support for taller high-rise constructions
- Main supports for steel-girder and truss-type bridges
- Aircraft hangars with large open spaces free from intermediate supports
The flexibility and high strength of A992 steel and the design of I-beams are ideal for dynamic loads experienced during earthquakes or very high winds.
