The members inherently maintain rectilinear geometry. Unlike I-beams (which feature sloped flanges with rounded edges and complicate installation), H-section steel is consequently preferred over I-beams for modern structural applications. I-beams are rarely used in contemporary building construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hongxingsteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hongxingsteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-3.png 460w, https:\/\/www.hongxingsteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-3-300x146.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"554\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hongxingsteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hongxingsteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-4.png 554w, https:\/\/www.hongxingsteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-4-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3) Hot-rolled H-section Steel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Characteristics: Features predetermined dimensional parameters as standardized by national specifications, prohibiting dimensional modifications.
