Core advantages of W33x152 W33x169 A992 steel beam h material
Structural stability: H-section design provides high bending stiffness and compressive strength, suitable for heavy load-bearing scenarios such as super high-rise building core tube support and large-span bridge main beam.
Processing adaptability: Support cutting, welding (submerged arc welding or gas shielded welding is recommended), bolt connection, and the toughness loss of heat affected zone after welding is ≤15%; the surface can be sandblasted and galvanized (salt spray corrosion resistance>720 hours).
Application of W33x152 W33x169 A992 h shaped steel material
Construction engineering: steel structure frame columns and truss nodes of super high-rise buildings.
Industrial facilities: heavy factory crane beams and offshore platform support structures.
Transportation field: railway bridge box beam webs, port crane track beams.
