3. Introduction1
Cities in redevelopment, high-rise buildings under
construction, freeways undergoing modernization – these
and many other projects call for wide flange shapes.
Because of their outstanding properties, wide flange
shapes are widely used for beams, columns and other
architectural members, as well as in pile foundations,
bridges and other civil engineering works.
Japan's first wide flange shapes were produced in 1961
on JFE Steel Corporation's universal mill. Since then, JFE
Steel has been supplying superior quality wide flange
shapes based on advanced technology, efficient
equipment and intensive research and development
activities. JFE Steel's wide flange shapes are available up
to 1000 mm in web height and 515 mm in flange width.
Further, JFE Steel's whole production process for order
booking through shipment is handled by an advanced
computer-controlled order processing system, so the
company can provide customers with better service for
any requirement.
Sophisticated properties that satisfy the
needs of the day perfectly.
A simple configuration, yet excellent
cross-sectional performance.
Multipurpose application in broad range of
crosssectional configurations with other shapes.
Marked reduction in construction costs and
time through rationalized design work,
faster fabrication, and easier on-site execution.

Applies only to:
8-in. deep section 31 lb/ft and heavier,
10-in. deep sections 49 lb/ft and heavier,
12-in. deep sections 65 lb/ft and heavier, and
14-in. deep sections 90 lb/ft and heavier.
If other sections are specified on the order as columns, the tolerance will be subject to negotiation with the manufacturer.
