Beam

Beam

A steel beam is a structural element commonly used in construction and engineering to support loads and provide stability to buildings and other structures. Steel beams are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, which allows them to support heavy loads while remaining relatively light compared to other materials.

Applications Uses

  • Construction
  • Manufacturing
  • Building Construction
  • Bridges
  • Industrial Structure
Grade SS400
Material Mild Steel
Position Interior, Exterior
Thickness 10 mm
Width 300 mm
  • Heating: Steel billets are heated to a high temperature (around 1,000°C).
  • Hot Rolling: These billets are then passed through a series of rolling mills to reduce their size and form the basic shape of the bars.
  • Quenching: The bars are rapidly cooled by spraying water, which hardens the outer surface while the inner core remains relatively softer. This creates a strong outer shell and a ductile inner core, combining both strength and flexibility.
  • Tempering: After quenching, the bars are tempered to relieve internal stresses and improve their overall toughness and flexibility.
  • Strength: Steel is exceptionally strong and can support large amounts of weight with minimal material, making it ideal for heavy-duty construction.
  • Durability: Steel is resistant to most environmental factors like rot, mold, and pests, and can withstand extreme weather conditions.
  • Versatility: Steel beams come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different needs, and they can be customized for specific projects.
  • Recyclability: Steel is 100% recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly option for sustainable construction.
