Paper deals with heat transfer through beam supports of wagon structure for transportation of hot steel ingots. It is well known that changing of the material properties at high temperatures leading to reduced carrying capacity of structures. Therefore, it is necessary to know the temperature distribution in the carrying element to avoid disturbing the integrity of construction. Basic equations which governs the problem of heat transfer in terms of finite element method (FEM) are presented taking into account the initial and boundary conditions. Heat transfer through beam supports of wagon structure for transportation of hot steel ingots is solved by software PAK Multyphisics. It is shown that the temperature of carrying elements is slightly elevated, which does not affect the normal operation of wagon construction.
