H-beams tend to be twice as heavy as I-beams, too.
1. How are you planning to verify the quality of the steel used?
2. How are you planning to verify the quality of the heat-treatment?
That pretty-much means that you're likely only going to verify the machining, if that, and we've seen enormous problems with Chinese engine parts to date. I'll never understand the fascination with Communist products.
