工字钢的边长小，高度大，只能承受单方向的力。 H型钢槽深，厚度大，可以承受两个方向的力。

工字钢只能用于横梁，而H型钢才能用于结构的承重柱。

The length of the I-steel is ***all and high. It can only bear the force of the single direction. The H steel groove is deep and thick, and can bear the force of two directi.

I-steel can only be used for crossbeams, and H steel can be used for structure bearing columns.

槽钢的原料钢坯为含碳量不超过0.25%的碳结钢或低合金钢钢坯。成品槽钢经热加工成形、正火或热轧状态交货。其规格以腰高*腿宽(b)*腰厚(d)的毫米数表示，如150*78*9。

The raw billet of the channel steel is a carbon steel or low alloy steel billet containing less than 0.25% carbon content. The finished channel steel is delivered by hot forming, normalizing or hot rolling. Its specificati are represented by the millimeter number of waist height (H) * leg width (b) * waist thickness (d), such as 150*78*9.

型材按生产方法可以分成热轧型材、冷弯型材、冷轧型材、冷拔型材、挤压型材、锻压型材、热弯型材、焊接型材和特殊轧制型材等。型材按其横断面形状可分成简单断面型材和复杂断面型材。简单断面型材的横断面对称、外形比较均匀、简单，如圆钢、线材、方钢和扃钢等。因此又可以进一步分成凸缘型材、多台阶型材、宽薄型材、局部特殊加工型材、不规则曲线型材、复合型材、周期断面型材和金属丝材等等。复杂断面型材又称为异型断面型材，其特征是横断面具有明显凸凹分支。
