HEA refers to steel or iron metals produced using High Energy Astrophysics (HEA) techniques. The profile resembles the letter “H” and is classified as a wide-flange profile. Based on their properties, these metals are categorized into HEA and HEB types.
They are named according to their size—e.g., HEA100, HEA200, HEA300, and so on. The smallest profile is HEA100, which has a width of 96 mm, height of 100 mm, thickness of 8 mm, and weight of 16.7 kg/m. The largest standard profile is HEA600, with a width of 300 mm, height of 590 mm, thickness of 13 mm, and weight of 178 kg/m. However, upon special request, even larger profiles like HEA1000 can be produced.
These profiles are easily assembled by welding and offer high resistance to bending and deformation.
Key Features of HEA Steel Profiles:
When purchasing HEA profiles, it’s essential to consider flange width and flange height. The flange refers to the horizontal elements at the top and bottom of the “H” shape.
HEA profiles are resistant to high temperatures, making them suitable for buildings that need to withstand intense fires without collapsing. Because of this, experts predict that the use of such profiles may become a requirement in fire insurance regulations in the future.
These profiles are corrosion-resistant, meaning they do not rust and are not damaged by exposure to chemical substances.
HEA is known as the most durable and strongest profile on the market.
Typically produced in ST44 and ST52 steel grades.
Standard lengths range from 6.00 to 12.00 meters.
