Types of Stainless Steel Beams

Stainless steel beams are named after their most prominent aspect of the 'I' Shape. The I-beam is the universal and most identified model and because of that, the other beams are named comparatively to that bar.

I Beam- The most common beam in our inventory. The I-beams center web can only be rolled as much as a mill's equipment can handle (5/8″). The I-Beam is lighter in weight which is why it is used so often. The I-Beam is also a solid piece of metal throughout. It is rolled and manufactured from one part.

H Beam - The H-Beam is stronger than the I-beam, but it requires much more effort to produce in the process. Instead of being rolled together as one piece, an H-Beam is three pieces individually created and welded together. This allows each portion to be much stronger because you're using the milling equipment three times to reinforce material as opposed to using the equipment once to make one item. Overall, the H-Beam is much heavier than the I-beam and can take much more force and pressure.
