A36/A572GR50 W33x387 universal steel beams
W33x387 h shaped beam made of A36 material has the characteristics of low cost and good processing performance, and is suitable for general construction and machinery manufacturing; while W33x387 h beam material made of A572GR50 material has high strength and superior comprehensive performance, and is more suitable for high-load, high-safety construction and bridge engineering.
h steel profile Product Introduction
A36 h shaped iron beam is a low carbon structural steel that meets the American ASTM A36/A36M standard.
Chemical composition
Carbon (C): ≤0.29%, providing basic strength and NMness.
Manganese (Mn): 0.80%-1.20%, improving the strength and toughness of steel.
Silicon (Si): ≤0.40%, improving welding performance.
Phosphorus (P), sulfur (S): ≤0.04% respectively, which need to be strictly controlled to avoid hot brittleness and cold brittleness.
Mechanical properties
Yield strength: ≥250 MPa (36 ksi).
Tensile strength: 400-550 MPa (58-80 ksi).
Elongation: ≥20%.
