Nickel Alloy H Beam I Beam Inconel 601 UNS N06601
Nickel Alloy Beam is a crucial support for the construction of buildings, structures, and any construction project. It comes in various size ranges, making it specifically applicable for certain applications. There are numerous considerations in determining the structural steel beams to use for your project. Each steel beam offers support with unique properties that will provide you with the accurate level of support you need for your construction project.

Differences Between H Beam & I Beam:
Applications:
I Beams --- Lightweight Applications Beams are typically used in commercial buildings that do not rise more than a few stories. Their smaller footprint and lighter weight make them more economical and easier to work with. I beams are often used in walls due to their smaller profile, lighter weight, and their ability to handle loads well from top to bottom of the beam.
H beams --- Bigger Jobs Require Wide Flange Beams are made with thicker webs and wide flanges for maximum strength in all directions. The H beam works best in bridge and overpass construction due to:
1. Its ability to span the longer distances required by bridges/overpasses
2. Its ability to handle very heavy loads, as a bridge/overpass needs to be capable of handling the combined weight of vehicles.
Inconel 601 (UNS N06601) is a general-purpose engineering material for applications that require resistance to heat and corrosion. The outstanding characteristic of alloy 601 is its resistance to high-temperature oxidation. The alloy also has good resistance to aqueous corrosion, has high mechanical strength, and is readily formed, machined, and welded. The composition of alloy 601 is a face-centered-cubic solid solution with a high degree of metallurgical stability. The alloy’s nickel base, in conjunction with a substantial chromium content, provides resistance to many corrosive media and high-temperature environments. Oxidation resistance is further enhanced by the aluminum content
