W24x104 Wide Flange Beams

W24x104 H-beam is an American standard H-beam that meets ASTM standards (such as A572GR50 or A992). The "W" in the name represents the width series, 24 represents the web height of 24 inches, and 104 represents the weight of 104 pounds per foot. It is widely used in construction and industry.

Common materials of W24x104 wf steel beam

A36: Carbon structural steel with good weldability and machinability.

A572GR50: High-strength low-alloy steel with higher yield strength, suitable for load-bearing structures.

A992: Low-alloy steel with high yield strength, commonly used in high-rise buildings and bridges.

Performance characteristics of W24x104 w flange beam

High strength: Compared with ordinary I-beams, H-beams have stronger bending resistance and are suitable for large spans or heavy-loaded structures.

Optimized section: Wide and parallel flanges, large section modulus, light weight, can reduce the self-weight of building structures by 30%-40%.
Strong bending resistance: The right-angle design of the flange and web provides good bending resistance, which is 5%-10% higher than that of I-beam.
Easy connection: The flanges are parallel, which is convenient for welding, riveting and bolting, which can reduce construction time and cost.
Low residual stress: The hot rolling process makes the stress distribution in the steel uniform, reducing the risk of subsequent deformation.
