What's the difference between plain I-beam and light I-beam? What is light I-beam?
Ordinary I-beam, light I-beam flange is variable cross-section, depending on the thickness of the web, the external thin; H steel: HW, HM, HN, HEA, HEB, HEM and so on, the flange of I-beam is a uniform section. The material is different.
H type I-beam is also called wide flange I-beam, HW, HM, HN originated from European standards, HEB is the German standard of I-beam, of which HW, HN I-beam has been widely used in our country and production. HEA HEB HEM will be seen on many German designs and is hard to buy on the domestic market. In the domestic steel structure engineering, if the quantity is few, then may use the specification steel plate to carry on the welding splicing. In the case of large quantities, it is usually considered to use mechanical properties comparable to those of HW and HN steel.
Ordinary steel processing is ordinary I-beam, Lu, magnesium and other light alloy processing is light construction steel.
