IPE is a short form for rod structural members or beams with parallel inner flanges and dimensions according to EN 10365. Product tolerances are defined by EN 10034: 1993.
Stainless steel beam can be combined with IPE profiles, then welded or bolted or manufactured hot, then hot rolled or extruded. The lower and upper horizontal part of the beam is called a flange, and the middle part of the connection is called the mesh. The most common version in this product line is the standard IPE profile. Lighter versions of IPE AAAA up to A and heavier IPE O are rarely used.
IPE stainless steel beams are used not only in trade and industry, but also in machinery and equipment construction. The use of stainless steel profiles is characterized by a high composition flexibility and a fast and low cost structure (with the possibility of being prefabricated in steel production). Stainless steel profiles are mostly made of scrap and can be recycled after use, so that new sources can be preserved.
Austenitic grades are predominantly according to EN 10088-3: 1D.
