Are I-beam or H-beam rods better?
Are I-beam or H-beam rods better?
The H- or I-beam design will work in most applications, however, if you’re building a high-boost application the I-beam is better. The reason being is the I-beam is a better rod when it’s under compression compared to an H-beam.
Is AI beam or H-beam rod stronger?
“H-beam is a stronger design when bending stress is considered,” Davis said. “H-beam rods are more difficult to machine, so they are often more expensive. I-beam rods are easier to produce and can sometimes be lighter than H-beams. All other variables being equal, H-beam rods are the strongest design.”
How much lighter is titanium than steel?
