不同于普通工字型的是H型鋼的翼緣進(jìn)行了加寬，且內(nèi)、外表面通常是平行的，這樣可便于用高強(qiáng)度螺栓和其他構(gòu)件連接。其尺寸構(gòu)成合理系列，型號(hào)齊全，便于設(shè)計(jì)選用。（除了吊車梁用工字型鋼）。

Unlike the ordinary I-type, the flange of H steel is widened, and the inner and outer surfaces are usually parallel, so that it can be easily connected with high-strength bolts and other components. Its size is a reasonable series, and the model is complete, which is convenient for the design. (except for crane girder with I-type steel)

型材按使用部門分類有鐵路用型材（鋼軌、魚尾板、道岔用軌、車輪、輪箍）、汽車用型材（輪輞、輪胎擋圈和鎖圈）、造船用型材（L型鋼、球扁鋼、Z字鋼、船用窗框鋼）、結(jié)構(gòu)和建筑用型材（H型鋼、工字鋼、槽鋼、角鋼、吊車鋼軌、窗框和門框用材、鋼板樁等）、礦山用鋼（U型鋼、槽幫鋼、礦用工字鋼、刮板鋼等）、機(jī)械制造用異型材等。按斷面尺寸大小分類。型材按生產(chǎn)方法可以分成熱軋型材、冷彎型材、冷軋型材、冷拔型材、擠壓型材、鍛壓型材、熱彎型材、焊接型材和特殊軋制型材等。

薄板的寬度為500~1500毫米；厚的寬度為600~3000毫米。薄板按鋼種分，有普通鋼、鋼、合金鋼、不銹鋼、工具鋼、耐熱鋼、軸承鋼、硅鋼和工業(yè)純鐵薄板等。

The width of the thin plate is 500~1500 mm, and the thickness is 600~3000 mm. The sheet is divided by steel, including ordinary steel, high quality steel, alloy steel, spring steel, stainless steel, tool steel, heat resistant steel, bearing steel, silicon steel and industrial pure iron sheet.

膠合板是由三層或多層一毫米左右的實(shí)木單板或薄板膠貼熱壓制成，常見的有三夾板、五夾板、九夾板和十二夾板（俗稱三合板，五厘板，九厘板，十二厘板）。

Plywood is made of three or more than one millimeter of solid wood veneer or thin plate with hot pressing. There are three splints, five splints, nine splints and twelve splints (commonly known as three plywood, five millimeter, nine millimeter, twelve millimeter).
