120mm x 80mm x 8mm Mild Steel Box Section Heavy Duty Rectangular Hollow Section for Structural - Linear Metre

The 120mm x 80mm x 8mm Mild Steel Box Section is a strong and durable rectangular hollow section that is ideal for use in heavy-duty structural and industrial applications. Its robust design, combined with excellent weldability and machinability, makes it suitable for a wide range of engineering and construction projects.

• Material: Made from high-grade mild steel (Grade E220), this box section is built to deliver reliable mechanical performance, making it suitable for demanding structural applications.

• Shape: The rectangular box section provides superior strength and rigidity, ideal for load-bearing structures, frameworks, and applications where stability is a priority. Its shape ensures even distribution of weight and resistance to bending or torsion.

• Height and Width: The section has dimensions of 120mm in width and 80mm in height, offering a solid, large profile that contributes to the strength and stability of various structures.

• Thickness: The 8mm wall thickness provides substantial reinforcement, ensuring the section can handle high stress and heavy loads without compromising structural integrity.

• Weight: With a weight of 23.47 kg per metre, this box section is designed for heavy-duty applications where weight-bearing capacity is essential.

• Formability: This box section has poor formability, meaning it is not easily bent or shaped, making it ideal for straight, rigid elements in construction or fabrication projects.

• Weldability: Rated as excellent, this mild steel section can be easily joined using standard welding methods, ensuring strong, reliable connections in structural and industrial settings.

• Machinability: With excellent machinability, this box section can be easily cut, drilled, and processed to meet specific design requirements, allowing for flexibility and customization in fabrication.

• Corrosion Resistance: The box section offers poor corrosion resistance, so it is recommended for use in environments where moisture exposure is minimal or additional surface protection is applied. However, the red oxide finish provides some protection against rust and corrosion, extending the material’s lifespan when used in controlled environments.

• Finish: The red oxide finish adds a protective layer to the steel, helping to prevent rust and surface corrosion, especially during storage or transit. This finish is beneficial for long-term durability in indoor applications or in environments where additional protection will be applied.

In summary, the 120mm x 80mm x 8mm Mild Steel Box Section is a high-strength and reliable material for industrial and structural projects, offering excellent weldability and machinability. While its corrosion resistance is limited, the red oxide finish provides some protection, making it a suitable choice for various construction, engineering, and fabrication needs where strength and durability are required.
