SM490 Hot Rolled Section Steel H Beam
SM490 H-shaped steel (JIS G3106 standard), "SM" means structural steel for welded structures, "490" means minimum tensile strength of 490 MPa, and "H" means H-section optimized for high-load applications.
The material type of SM490 h section steel is carbon steel with controlled carbon content (C≤0.20%) and low alloy additions, balancing strength, weldability and ductility.
Mechanical properties of SM490 h shaped steel beam
Tensile strength: 570–700 MPa (exceeds the nominal 490 MPa requirement).
Yield strength: ≥355 MPa (thickness ≤16 mm).
Decreases with increasing thickness (e.g., ≥285 MPa for 150–200 mm).
Elongation: ≥17% (thinner sections) to ≥23% (thicker sections), ensuring ductility under stress.
Impact toughness: ≥27 J at -20°C (for cryogenic environments).
Manufacturing and processing
Production: Hot rolling with controlled cooling to refine the microstructure.
Heat treatment: Normalizing or tempering to optimize the strength-ductility balance; quenching (e.g. ice water) to meet special hardness requirements.
Surface treatment: Hot-dip galvanizing (e.g. SM490YB) for marine and corrosive environments.
Advantages of SM490 steel sections
High strength-to-weight ratio: Suitable for long-span structures and dynamic loads.
Weldability: Low carbon content, excellent compatibility with arc welding and other techniques.
Corrosion resistance: Galvanized variants (e.g. SM490YB) provide extended service life in harsh environments.
