Advantages of I-beams

I-shaped beams are hollow web members. For high-strength materials, hollow web members are better than solid web members in terms of weight, material, and labor saving. This cross-sectional design mainly uses the flange farthest from the centroid to resist bending moments (because the farther the flange is, the greater the moment of inertia), and mainly uses the web to resist shear. As for the inconvenience in making it, it can be solved by factory or molding. Saving materials, labor, and time is efficiency.

Place a crossbeam horizontally on two supports, and when the crossbeam is subjected to downward pressure perpendicular to the axis, it bends. Compression deformation occurs at the upper part of the crossbeam, i.e. compressive stress occurs, and the closer it is to the upper edge, the more severe the compression is; Tensile deformation occurs at the lower part of the crossbeam, i.e. tensile stress occurs, and the closer it is to the lower edge, the more severe the tension becomes. And the middle layer is neither stretched nor compressed, so there is no stress. Due to the small contribution of the neutral layer to bending resistance, I-beams are often used in engineering applications to replace square beams and hollow pipes to replace solid columns.

What is the material of carbon steel plate and what are its advantages and disadvantages

It is a type of steel with a carbon content lower than 2.11% and without intentionally adding metallic elements, and can also be called plain carbon steel or carbon steel. In addition to carbon, it also contains a small amount of elements such as silicon, manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus inside. The higher the carbon content, the better the hardness and strength, but the lower the plasticity.

Exploring the Benefits and Applications of 430 Stainless Steel Coil

430 stainless steel coil is a ferritic stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance. It primarily consists of chromium, with a composition of approximately 16-18% chromium and minimal nickel content. This low nickel content makes 430 stainless steel a cost-effective alternative to austenitic stainless steels, which typically contain higher levels of nickel. The
