News - H-beam for Construction Promotes High-quality Development of The Industry

Recently, with the continuous advancement of urbanization and the acceleration of key infrastructure projects, the demand for high-performance construction steel has surged. Among them, H-beam, as a core load-bearing component in construction projects, has become a key driver for promoting the high-quality development of the construction industry, with its excellent mechanical properties and wide application scenarios leading a new trend in the market.

In a large-scale high-rise residential project in East China, a batch of HEB 150 H-beams has recently been put into the main structure construction. As a common European standard H-beam model, HEB 150 is favored by construction units for its balanced section design, strong bending resistance and stable load-bearing capacity. "Compared with traditional steel sections, HEB 150 can reduce the number of assembly joints by 30% in the construction process, greatly shortening the construction period while ensuring structural safety," said the project chief engineer. This application not only verifies the practical value of standard H-beam products in residential construction, but also provides a reference for the promotion of standardized steel structures in the industry.

While standard models are widely used, high-performance H-beam products represented by ASTM A572-50 H beams are also accelerating their penetration into key projects. It is understood that ASTM A572-50 H beams have excellent low-temperature toughness and corrosion resistance, and their yield strength can reach more than 345MPa, which is especially suitable for large-span workshops, highway bridges and other projects with high structural requirements. At present, in the construction of a cross-river bridge in South China, ASTM A572-50 H beams have been used in the main truss structure, effectively solving the problem of bearing pressure under complex weather conditions and ensuring the service life of the bridge.

In addition, ASTM A572-50 wide flange beams, as a derivative product of H-beam, have further expanded the application scope of H-beam in the construction industry. With its wider flange width, this type of beam can better distribute the load and improve the stability of the structure. It has been widely used in the construction of large-scale commercial complexes and industrial plants in recent years. A person in charge of a steel production enterprise said: "In the first half of this year, the order volume of ASTM A572-50 wide flange beams increased by 40% year-on-year, and the products have also been exported to Southeast Asian markets, becoming a new growth point for our export business."

Industry insiders pointed out that the rapid development of H-beam for construction not only reflects the upgrading of the construction industry's demand for high-quality steel, but also promotes the technological innovation of the steel industry. In the future, with the continuous improvement of national standards for green buildings and low-carbon construction, H-beam products with higher performance, more environmental protection and more diversification will play a more important role in promoting the high-quality development of the construction industry.
