A992 Alloy Steel I-Beams

- Yield Strength: 50,000 psi
- Hardness: Not Rated
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Fabrication: Hot Rolled
- Specifications Met: ASTM A992
Made of stiff alloy steel, these I-beams are often used in construction, framing, lifting, and hoisting applications. Alloy steel contains silicon and vanadium to boost strength and hardness, so it bends less under load than carbon steel. For added wear resistance, they can be surface hardened with heat treating. Also known as American Standard I-beams, these I-beams have rounded corners. All have been manufactured to meet ASTM A992 standards for quality and performance.
The beam trade number indicates the I-beam's outside height and weight in pounds per foot. This provides an easy reference to help you select the right size and strength for your application.

Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel
From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.
Bars with sheared edges are also known as Gauer bar and are sheared from plate.
I-beams are lighter weight than H-bars, but they're not as strong. Use them when weight is a concern.
