W14x193 Hot Rolled Steel Beam A36/A572GR50

Comparison of h-shaped beam material properties

Performance of A36 h-shaped steel beam

Mechanical properties‌: yield strength ≥250MPa, tensile strength 400-550MPa, elongation ≥23%, with medium strength and good plasticity, suitable for conventional load structures‌.
‌Chemical composition‌: low carbon design (C≤0.25%), manganese content 0.8-1.2%, phosphorus/sulfur content ≤0.04%/0.05% respectively, excellent welding performance‌.
‌Economical‌: low cost, suitable for budget-sensitive small and medium-sized projects‌.

Performance of A572GR50 h-shaped iron beam

Mechanical properties‌: yield strength ≥345MPa, tensile strength 450-550MPa, elongation ≥18%, with higher strength and low-temperature toughness, suitable for heavy-load structures‌.
‌Chemical composition‌: Contains Mn (1.35-1.65%), Nb (0.005-0.05%), V (0.01-0.05%), and the grains are refined through controlled rolling and controlled cooling processes to improve impact resistance‌.
‌Corrosion resistance‌: The surface oxide film is dense and performs better than A36 in a humid environment.
