H-Beam Steel
H-beam steel is one of the most widely used structural steel shapes in construction, infrastructure, and industrial frameworks. Its optimized cross-sectional shape provides high bending resistance with efficient material use. Huaxia-Steel supplies hot-rolled H-beams in carbon steel grades including Q235, Q345, SS400, and ASTM A36 with full certification and custom cutting.
Product Overview
The H-beam (also called wide-flange beam or I-beam in some regions) features parallel inner and outer flange surfaces with a central web. This geometry provides uniform strength in both the x-x and y-y axes, making it ideal for multi-directional load-bearing structures. Hot-rolled H-beams are produced by continuous rolling mills capable of sizes up to 1,000 mm in height.

Processing and Fabrication
Huaxia-Steel offers value-added processing before export:
- Cutting: CNC sawing, plasma cutting, or flame cutting to length
- Drilling: CNC beam drilling for bolted connections
- Surface treatment: Shot blasting, galvanizing, or painting
- Welding: End plates, brackets, and splice plates per your drawing
Quality Assurance
- Mill test certificate (GB/T 11263, JIS G 3192, or ASTM A6 compliant)
- Third-party inspection by SGS, BV, or TÜV
- Dimensional inspection (height, width, web thickness, flange thickness)
- Straightness and camber inspection per standard
Packing and Shipping
H-beams are bundled in lifted sets with steel straps. Small bundles are wrapped in wire mesh; large bundles are loaded directly into containers or on flat-rack platforms. Protective separators prevent surface rubbing. Marking includes standard, grade, size, length, and heat number.
