CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
- The chemical composition of the material comprises approximately 0.26% Carbon (C), 0.2% Copper (Cu), 99% Iron (Fe), and 0.75% Manganese (Mn). Additionally, it contains a maximum of 0.04% Phosphorus (P) and a maximum of 0.05% Sulfur (S).
MECHANICAL INFORMATION
- This chemical composition and mechanical information pertain to a material primarily consisting of iron, with a small percentage of carbon (0.26%), copper (0.2%), manganese (0.75%), and trace amounts of phosphorus and sulfur. The density is 0.282 lb/in3 or 7.8 g/cc, with an ultimate tensile strength of 58,000 psi (400 MPa) and a yield tensile strength of 47,700 psi (315 MPa). It has a shear strength of 43,500 psi (300 MPa) and a melting point range between 2,590°F and 2,670°F (1,420°C - 1,460°C). The Brinell hardness is 140, and the material is produced using a hot rolling method. The document notes that these are general approximations, and customers should contact the Customer Service Department for material test reports. Various available sizes range in depth, width, web thickness, and length, with weights (lbs/ft) such as 3.5, 4.1, 5, 6, 5.4, and higher, indicating diverse dimensional options suitable for different applications.
AVAILABLE SIZES
- Available sizes include a range of dimensions from 3 inches to 15 inches in depth, with varying widths, web thicknesses, lengths, and weights. Starting with smaller sizes, the options such as 3" x 3.5#, 3" x 4.1#, and 3" x 5# provide widths from 1.35" to 1.498", web thicknesses from .130" to .258", all with a uniform length of 240.00" and weights from 3.500 lbs/ft to 5.000 lbs/ft. Moving to mid-range dimensions, 4" options like 4" x 5.4#, 4" x 6.25#, and 4" x 7.25# expand width variability from 1.584" to 1.721" and web thickness from .184" to .321", maintaining the same length of 240.00" and delivering weights ranging from 5.400 lbs/ft to 7.250 lbs/ft. Larger sizes such as the 5" x 6.7# and 5" x 9# increase in weight, with widths and web thickness from 1.75" to 1.885" and .190" to .325", also at 240.00" lengths with corresponding weight increases up to 9.000 lbs/ft. The selection continues with 6" increments featuring varieties like 6" x 8.2# through 6" x 13#, with widths from 1.92" to 2.157" and web thickness between .200" and .437". The broad selection stretches up to the heaviest options with 12" and 15" sizes, such as 12" x 30# or 15" x 33.9#, featuring widths from 2.94" to 3.17" for 12" options and achieving maximum thickness of .510". These options offer substantial weights, peaking at 33.900 lbs/ft with consistent lengths of 240.00", catering to varied structural and load-bearing requirements.
