| LiteSteel® beam (LSB®) from LiteSteel Technologies can give your building projects a significant time and cost advantage compared to hot rolled structural steel beams.
That's not a boast we make lightly. Only after substantial investment in the new patented cold forming process and corroborating research into LSB's properties by the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney, and the Queensland University of Technology would we make such a claim.
In short, we have created a lighter structural beam with the strength of steel that is practically as easy to use as timber. That's because LSB delivers more structural performance in terms of load carrying capacity, bending moment and deflection from the available steel.
The innovative cold forming process gives LSB a unique profile with a flat, thin web and two hollow flanges. It is made from a single strip of DuoSteel™ (380/450 grade) using patented simultaneous dual electric resistance welding technology. The unique profile gives the torsional rigidity you would normally expect from hot rolled steel sections. LiteSteel beam AZ+ sections are supplied with an aluminium-zinc alloy protective coating. AZ+ provides significantly higher protection against the formation of red rust compared to plain galvanised coatings of the same mass. LSB is easy to weld like other structural steel beams if required.
