JIS G3106 SM490YA/YB H Beam
GNEE Steel (China) is a leading supplier of SM490YA/YB H-beams, offering these beams in a wide range of sizes at competitive prices and with ample stock. Custom orders can include specific lengths, coatings or additional testing (e.g. ultrasonic testing).
Common sizes for SM490YA/YB H-beams include sizes from 100×100 mm to 1000×300 mm, with flange and web thicknesses tailored to specific engineering needs.
Standard: JIS G3106 - Rolled steel for welded structures
Category: High Strength Low Alloy Steel (HSLA)
Steel grades: SM490YA and SM490YB
SM490YA: Higher yield strength, no mandatory impact test required.
SM490YB: Higher yield strength, impact test at 0°C required.
Form: H-beam (also available in plates, sheets or other shapes, but H-beam and plates are most common).
Uses: Designed for welded structural applications requiring enhanced strength and durability.

Physical properties of H-beams
SM490YA/YB H-beams are hot rolled and have the following characteristics:
High bending resistance: Effectively resists bending in all directions.
High load-bearing capacity: Ideal for supporting heavy loads in structural frames.
Construction efficiency: Simplifies assembly and reduces material usage, reducing costs.
Applications
SM490YA/YB H-beams are widely used in applications requiring high strength, good weldability and structural integrity:
Bridges: Due to their high strength, long span design with fewer support beams.
Buildings: Frames for high-rise buildings, warehouses and industrial facilities.
Ships: Structural components in shipbuilding.
Construction equipment: Cranes, booms and earthmoving machinery.
