A carbon steel H beam, also known as an H-shaped steel beam or H-section, is a type of structural beam made from carbon steel. It features an H-shaped cross-section, with two flanges on the top and bottom connected by a central web.
Carbon steel H beams are commonly used in construction and structural applications to provide support and distribute loads. They are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for a wide range of building projects.
The specific mechanical properties of carbon steel H beams can vary depending on the grade of carbon steel used and any additional alloying elements present. The mechanical properties typically include tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, and hardness. The selection of the appropriate carbon steel grade will depend on the specific application and the required structural requirements.
