ASTM Hot Rolled H Profile Steel A572Gr60

A572 Gr.60 hot rolled H-beam is a high-strength, low-alloy structural steel produced in accordance with the standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). 

Features and Benefits of A572 Gr.60 Hot Rolled H-Beam

High Strength: The yield strength is at least 415 MPa (about 60 ksi), and the tensile strength is between 485 and 620 MPa, which has a higher load-bearing capacity than ordinary carbon structural steel.

Good Weldability and Processability: A572 Gr.60 still maintains good welding and processing properties, and is suitable for various manufacturing processes such as cutting, drilling, bending, etc.

Durability: Due to good mechanical properties and optional weathering resistance, A572 Gr.60 can provide a long service life in a variety of environments.

The main chemical composition of A572 Gr.60 h section steel beam includes
Carbon (C): ≤0.23%
Manganese (Mn): Maximum 1.35% (For materials with a thickness greater than 100 mm, the manganese content can be increased to 1.60%)
Phosphorus (P): ≤0.040%
Sulfur (S): ≤0.050%
Silicon (Si): Maximum 0.40%
Copper (Cu): When used for weather resistance, the minimum content is 0.20%
In addition, trace elements such as nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and molybdenum (Mo) may also be included, depending on production requirements and standard specifications.

Mechanical properties of A572 Gr.60 h beam steel structure
Yield strength: ≥415 MPa
Tensile strength: 485 - 620 MPa
Elongation: At least 21% depending on thickness
Impact absorption energy: Charpy V-notch impact test is usually performed, especially for materials used in low temperature environments.

A572 Gr.60 hot rolled H-beam is widely used in building structures, bridge construction, heavy machinery frames, railway vehicles and other structural parts that require high strength, good toughness and durability.
