ASTM A992 6*12 / 12*16 Hot Rolled American Wide Flange Steel Beams W Beam

Hot rolled steel wide flange w beams are the most common of all beams and are an excellent candidate for most processing techniques. They are often characterized by a textured blue-grey finish, non-tapered flanges, and a thicker center web for increased strength. Commonly used in the construction industry, steel wide flange beams are a standard structural material, primarily used to carry loads transverse to its longitudinal axis (web). Steel wide flange beams are often heavier than standard w beams or junior beams. ASTM A992 / A572-50 / A529-50 are the standard specifications for structural steel.

W Beam Steel is an economical profile with a cross-section shape similar to the capital Latin letter h, also known as universal steel beams, wide flange I-beams or parallel flange I-beams. The section of H-shaped steel usually includes two parts: web and flange, also called waist and edge. The web thickness of H-shaped steel is less than that of ordinary I-beams with the same web height, and the flange width is greater than that of ordinary I-beams with the same web height, so it is also called wide flange I-beams.

w beams, due to their high efficiency and cost-effectiveness, have become a core material for modern steel structures and are widely used in:
Construction: Industrial plants, high-rise building frames, and large-span venues (such as airports and stadiums);
Bridge Engineering: Main beams and piers for railway and highway bridges, particularly large-span steel structures;
Machinery Manufacturing: Heavy equipment frames, crane track beams, ship keels, etc.;
Energy and Chemical Industries: Steel platforms, towers, piers, and other industrial facilities.
