Abstract
The consumption amount of H section steels refined in electric furnaces increases recently. It is very important to know their mechanical properties and weldabilities for practical usages. This paper reports the tensile properties, V-notch Charpy impact properties, hardness and microstructures in mother metals, heat affected zones and deposited metals of the H section steels for building constructions. They have enough and appropriate mechanical properties, chemical compositions and standard microstructures according to thermal histories of welding.
