Carbon Steel I-Beam

I-beam, also known as a steel beam or universal beam, is a long steel structural member with an I-shaped cross-section. There are two main types of I-beams: hot-rolled I-beams and lightweight I-beams. I-beams can further be categorized into ordinary I-beams, light I-beams, and low alloy light I-beams. The wings of ordinary I-beams and light I-beams gradually taper from the root to the side at a certain angle. The designation of an ordinary I-beam or light I-beam is indicated by the numerical value representing its waist height in centimeters. I-beams find extensive use in various applications, including building structures, curtain wall engineering, mechanical equipment, and vehicle manufacturing. Their structural strength and versatility make them suitable for supporting heavy loads and providing stability in construction and engineering projects.
