Steel Beams

Steel Beams are also known as “I-Beams”. I-Beams are made even using Aluminium or other metals. Structural Steel Beams are the most popular and are used for a variety of purposes owing to their usefulness. Steel Beams are made either by Rolling namely, hot rolling, cold rolling, and extrusion or by the Plate Girder process namely, by welding, bolting, or riveting plates. Before preparation, specific dimensions and measurements are specified for the Steel Beams to perfect their shape. The exact dimensions are crucial in ensuring the right size that will yield the best results when the finished product is used. To achieve high accuracy in manufacturing, Steel Beams are made using Laser Fusion Technology by Engineers who mix the right proportion of thickness and material grades.

Steel Beams shaped in the form of the capital letter ‘I’ are mostly used in industries that need tapered flanges. “W-shaped” Steel Beams, also called wide flange beams are used in residential housing and construction purposes. There are also “H-Flanges” that are a bit more heavier and longer than I-Flanges but look almost the same. Due to their useful shapes and good strength to weight ratio, they are best suited for construction. Industrial sheds, Bridges and Building structures mostly use steel beams. They can expertly handle vertical gravitational forces and horizontal earthquake or wind forces. Transmission Line Towers and Frames also see extensive usage of Steel Beams. They form strong bonds with Brickwork and Lintel which makes them perfect for structural projects.
