Beam B/Sh/K
Category: Related products
Point:
Steel I-Beam is a shaped rolled product with an H-shaped cross-section, consisting of two flanges and a connecting web. There are three main types: normal (N), wide-flange (W), and column (K). It is a key element in building structures due to its high load-bearing capacity.
Production Technology
The manufacturing process includes the following stages:
1. Billet Preparation: Steel ingot or billet is heated in continuous furnaces to 1150-1250°C.
2. Hot Rolling: Rolling through stands of a universal mill to form an I-beam profile.
3. Calibration: Final forming in finishing stands.
4. Cutting by Flying Shears: Division into measured lengths.
5. Straightening on Horizontal Straightening Machines: Eliminating warping and bends.
6. Cooling and Control: Natural cooling and quality check.
Characteristics and Assortment
• Beam Types:
o N – normal (flange to web ratio ~1:2).
o W – wide-flange (flanges wider than type N).
o K – column (flanges and web approximately equal in width).
• Profile Height: from 100 to 1000 mm.
• Flange Width: from 55 to 400 mm.
• Mass per 1 meter: from 9.46 to 6170 kg.
• Length: 6-24 meters (measured, non-measured, multiple).
• Steel Grades: St3sp, 09G2S, 345, 390, 440.
Advantages
• Optimal Material Distribution relative to the main axes of inertia.
• High Bending Rigidity in two planes.
• Resistance to longitudinal and transverse loads.
• Installation Processability and connection.
• Metal Savings up to 30% compared to other profiles.
• Versatile Application.
Areas of Application
• Industrial Construction: workshop, hangar, warehouse frames.
• Civil Construction: floors of multi-story buildings, girders.
• Bridge Construction: bridge superstructures, overpasses.
• Mining: support structures.
• Mechanical Engineering: press frames, crane frames, heavy equipment.
• Support Structures: power line masts, crane runways.
