50mm x 50mm x 2mm Stainless Steel Box Section 304 – Brushed Polished
The 50mm x 50mm x 2mm stainless steel box section is a high-quality, versatile material ideal for a range of industrial, architectural, and DIY projects. Manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, this box section combines durability, excellent corrosion resistance, and a sleek brushed polished finish, making it suitable for both structural and aesthetic applications.
Material and Composition
This box section is made from Grade 304 stainless steel, an austenitic stainless steel that contains chromium and nickel, giving it good corrosion resistance and strength. This material is highly popular for its balance of performance and workability, making it perfect for environments where exposure to moisture or harsh elements is a concern. The 304-grade steel is resistant to rust, oxidation, and environmental damage, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Dimensions and Weight
The box section measures 50mm in width and 50mm in height, with a 2mm wall thickness. These dimensions provide a sturdy square profile ideal for a range of applications requiring reliable structural support. Weighing 3.04 kg per metre, it offers substantial weight without being overly cumbersome, making it manageable to work with while providing the necessary strength for demanding projects.
Finish and Corrosion Resistance
The brushed polished finish not only enhances the visual appeal of the box section but also contributes to its corrosion resistance. This finish gives the steel a subtle, matte texture that reduces the appearance of fingerprints and scratches while maintaining a modern, refined look. This makes the box section suitable for applications where both functionality and aesthetics are essential, such as in architectural or decorative structures.
Weldability and Machinability
One of the major advantages of Grade 304 stainless steel is its excellent weldability. This box section can be easily welded using standard techniques, allowing for custom fabrication in a variety of projects. Its machinability is also rated highly, making it easy to cut, drill, and shape as needed. These properties make it an ideal material for construction, manufacturing, and DIY tasks that require precision and customization.
Applications
The 50mm x 50mm x 2mm stainless steel box section is highly versatile and can be used in numerous applications, including:
- Architectural and Structural Projects: Perfect for railings, frames, and support structures where both strength and appearance matter.
- Furniture Design: Ideal for creating modern, industrial-style furniture, such as table frames, chairs, and shelving units.
- Industrial Equipment: Frequently used in the construction of machinery, support systems, and enclosures that require durability and resistance to wear and tear.
- DIY Projects: Great for hobbyists looking to build custom pieces or add structural elements to home improvement projects.
- Outdoor Installations: Thanks to its corrosion resistance, this stainless steel box section is suitable for use in outdoor environments, such as garden structures, outdoor furniture, and fences.
Conclusion
The 50mm x 50mm x 2mm stainless steel box section made from Grade 304 is a robust, versatile material suitable for a wide range of applications. Its brushed polished finish enhances both its aesthetic and functional appeal, making it ideal for projects that require both durability and style. With excellent weldability, good corrosion resistance, and a manageable weight, this stainless steel box section is an essential choice for architects, builders, fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts looking to create high-quality, long-lasting structures.
