ASTM A572 Grade 42 Wide Flange Beams ,W610 x 174
W-beams, or wide flange beams, are stout, sturdy beams with wide flanges that are positioned perpendicularly to the web of the material giving them their characteristic shape and distinguishing them from I-beams. They’re frequently used as reinforcements in bridges, commercial buildings, and residential structures and can be fabricated from wood, aluminum, steel, or composite materials. Because of the wide flanges on the top and bottom, builders can more easily distribute heavy weight along the top of the beams without putting too much stress on the supports directly below. Along with offering superior weight distribution capabilities, they also have a better strength-to-weight ratio than square beams.
