There are a lot of considerations to be taken into account for sizing steel shapes, especially for a residential home. For instance, what are the load imposed upon the beam? How will the beam be supported? What environment will the beam sit in (i.e. high humidity, moisture, vibration)? A licensed professional engineer or architect in your state can better answer this question.
Use a steel beam.. That would be code.. steel w10x15 (50ksi) I beam.
I-beam
ben Franklin
A singly reinforced beam only has steel reinforcement on the tension side (along the bottom of the cross section) where as a doubly reinforced beam has steel reinforcement on both the tension and compression sides, ie. the top and bottom of the cross section.

The weight a steel I beam can hold depends on its dimensions, material properties, and the way it is supported. Steel beams are typically rated based on their load-bearing capacity in pounds per foot or kilonewtons per meter. To determine the exact weight a specific steel I beam can hold, you would need to consult structural engineering tables or software that consider factors such as the beam's span, section modulus, and moment of inertia.
That is the weight in pounds per foot. The 12 is the depth in inches.

The amount of heat needed to burn a steel beam depends on factors such as the type of steel, its thickness, and the duration of exposure to the heat source. In general, steel beams have a high melting point around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, so it would require a significant amount of continuous heat to burn through one.

The recommended type of steel beam for deck construction is typically a wide-flange beam, also known as an I-beam. These beams provide strong support and stability for the deck structure.
It proves shear reinforcement in the beam.

This is a designation used in the steel industry and construction industry for a wide flange, steel beam, commonly referred to as an I-beam. The W indicates a wide flange shape (as opposed to other shapes such as angles, channels, tubes and pipes). The 8 indicates the nominal beam depth as 8". The 17 indicates that the weight of the beam is 17 pounds per lineal foot of length. In an AISC steel construction manual, one can find more information and technical properties of this beam size and all other sizes offered in the United States.
