Performance Highlights
Tensile & Bending Strength
The stainless steel h beam achieves exceptional tensile strength, with Grade 316 exceeding 550 MPa, ideal for load-bearing structures like bridges and industrial frameworks. Its bending performance is enhanced by the austenitic microstructure, which allows elongation rates above 35%, reducing fracture risks during seismic events. For high-strength applications, duplex variants (custom stainless steel h beam) provide tensile strength over 620 MPa, outperforming traditional carbon steel in corrosive environments.
Identification & Marking
Each beam is laser-etched with:
- Material Grade (e.g., 304, 316, duplex).
- Batch Number for traceability (ISO 10474 certification).
- Manufacturer Logo and compliance marks (ASTM/EN/JIS).
Weight Calculation
Calculate beam weight using:
Example: A 200×200×8×12 beam (flange: 200×12 mm, web: 200×8 mm):
Corrosion Resistance & Rust Prevention
While stainless steel h beam offers superior corrosion resistance, localized rust may occur under extreme conditions:
- Chloride Exposure: Coastal or de-icing environments can cause pitting in 304 grades. Upgrade to 316 or duplex for chloride-rich settings.
- Mechanical Damage: Scratches during installation expose the base metal. Passivation treatments restore the chromium oxide layer.
- High-Temperature Oxidation: Prolonged exposure above 870°C degrades the passive film. Use refractory coatings or opt for stabilized grades.
