What is ASTM A36 H100X100X6X8 MM Structural Wide Flange H Beam?
ASTM A36 H100×100×6×8 mm Structural Wide Flange H Beam is a carbon steel structural beam designed for general construction, infrastructure, and load-bearing applications.
Manufactured according to ASTM A36 standards, this wide flange H beam features a balanced H-shaped cross-section with a 100 mm flange width, 100 mm height, 6 mm web thickness, and 8 mm flange thickness, providing excellent load distribution, high structural stability, and efficient material utilization.
Our ASTM A36 H100×100×6×8 mm H Beam offers a minimum tensile strength of 400 MPa, a minimum yield strength of 250 MPa, and elongation of over 20%, ensuring reliable performance under heavy loads and dynamic stress conditions. Compared with conventional I beams, its wider flange design provides higher resistance against bending, twisting, and lateral deformation, making it suitable for steel frames, industrial buildings, platforms, bridges, and machinery support structures.
The ASTM A36 carbon steel composition provides excellent weldability, machinability, and fabrication flexibility, allowing the beam to be easily cut, drilled, welded, and connected during installation.
The H100×100×6×8 mm profile is commonly used in medium-duty structural systems where compact dimensions and high strength-to-weight ratios are required. With proper surface treatment such as hot-dip galvanizing, painting, or protective coating, the beam can achieve enhanced corrosion resistance and extended service life in outdoor and industrial environments.
Designed for long-term structural reliability, ASTM A36 H100×100×6×8 mm Structural Wide Flange H Beam delivers consistent mechanical performance, dimensional accuracy, and cost-effective construction solutions for a wide range of engineering projects.
Before shipment, all ASTM A36 H100×100×6×8 mm Structural Wide Flange H Beams undergo strict quality inspections, including dimensional inspection, chemical composition analysis, mechanical property testing, and surface quality checks.
Each product is supplied with an EN 10204 3.1 Material Test Certificate (MTC) to ensure full traceability and compliance with ASTM A36 standards. Third-party inspection by SGS, BV, or other international organizations is available upon request.
We also provide one-stop processing services, including cutting, drilling, welding, shot blasting, and hot-dip galvanizing. With a standard delivery time of 15 working days and flexible MOQ starting from 1 piece, we support both trial orders and large-scale structural projects.

What is A36 steel equivalent to?
Equivalent grades for ASTM A36 include S235JR (European standard), SS400 (Japanese standard), Q235 (Chinese standard), ST37-2 (German standard), S235J2 (European standard), and Q235D (Chinese standard).
Is A36 steel ductile or brittle?
A36 is relatively ductile and can elongate to around 20% of its original length when tensile testing. Its ductility and strength also give it excellent impact strength at room temperature.
Can A36 steel be heat treated?
A36 steel has a melting point close to 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit, or around 1,427 degrees Celsius. This high melting temperature is typical of low-carbon steels and ensures that A36 can be safely welded, heat-treated, or used in high-temperature environments without losing structural integrity.
Typical Applications of ASTM A36 H Beams
ASTM A36 H beams are widely used in:
- Structural frameworks (columns, beams, channels)

Quality Control of ASTM A36 H Beams
ASTM A36 H Beams undergo strict quality inspection before shipment. Each beam is tested by optical emission spectrometry (OES) for chemical composition verification and inspected for dimensional accuracy, including height, flange width, web thickness, flange thickness, length, and straightness.
Mechanical tests are also performed to confirm yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation. Ultrasonic testing (UT) is available upon request to ensure internal quality and structural reliability.
Packaging & Shipping
ASTM A36 H Beams are normally supplied with bundled packaging secured by high-strength steel straps for safe handling and transportation. The beams are shipped in bare condition with proper bundling to maximize container loading efficiency and reduce transportation costs.
