Description

Base Material

Properties:

Strength: IPE beams are designed to offer excellent strength and support, particularly in load-bearing applications.
Versatility: The IPE beam shape provides superior load distribution, making it highly suitable for structural frameworks and mechanical engineering.
Durability: Typically made from high-strength steel, IPE beams provide long-term structural stability and resistance to deformation.

Manufacturing Process

Steel Selection: The appropriate grade of steel is selected based on the required strength and application.
Hot Rolling: Steel billets are heated and rolled to form the IPE shape, ensuring the beam is both lightweight and strong.
Cutting: The beams are cut to the required lengths for specific applications.
Surface Treatment (Optional): Depending on the environment, the beams may be coated or galvanized for additional corrosion protection.
Finishing: The beams can undergo additional processes such as welding, cutting, or bending based on custom requirements.

Common Grades of IPE Beams

Material	Features	Typical Use
Mild Steel	Cost-effective, easily welded, and fabricated	Residential buildings, commercial structures
Structural Steel	High strength, designed for heavy-duty loads	Bridges, industrial buildings, and machinery frames
Alloy Steel	High tensile strength, ideal for heavy-duty applications	Heavy machinery, mechanical components

Typical Specifications

Dimensions: The IPE beam dimensions can vary, but they are typically available in sizes ranging from 80 mm to 600 mm in height, with widths and thicknesses tailored to specific load requirements.
Length: Standard lengths range from 6 meters to 12 meters, depending on the project and transport limitations.
Steel Grade: Varies based on the structural requirements, typically available in grades like S235, S275, S355, or higher.

Advantages

Strong Load-Bearing Capacity: IPE beams are excellent for supporting heavy loads, thanks to their I-shaped cross-section that allows for better distribution of stress.
Flexibility: These beams can be easily modified through cutting, welding, and bending, making them highly versatile for various applications.
Durability: The beams are made from high-strength steel, ensuring long-lasting performance in both residential and industrial projects.
Cost-Effective: IPE beams are an affordable solution for structural support without sacrificing performance.

Applications

Construction: Used for structural support in buildings, bridges, and industrial constructions.
Mechanical Engineering: Ideal for use in the production of heavy-duty machinery frames and structural elements.
Roofing and Ceiling Structures: Often used as ceiling joists, rafters, and other load-bearing components in construction.
Ground Improvement: Used as poles and elements for ground stabilization and reinforcement.
Transport & Vehicles: Common in the manufacturing of vehicle frames and structural parts.
