Description
90mm x 90mm x 5mm Mild Steel Box Section: Durable, Versatile & Efficient
The 90mm x 90mm x 5mm Mild Steel Box Section is a highly durable and versatile structural steel component designed for a variety of engineering, construction, and fabrication applications. With its square hollow shape and robust specifications, this steel box section offers strength, durability, and functionality in numerous heavy-duty projects.
Material and Composition
This box section is made from E220 grade mild steel, known for its solid balance of toughness and usability. While mild steel is not particularly corrosion-resistant, it is often chosen for its excellent weldability and machinability. This steel can be shaped and welded with ease, making it an ideal choice for intricate fabrication work, frames, and structural reinforcements.
Strength and Durability
With dimensions of 90mm in height and 90mm in width, coupled with a 5mm thickness, this steel section provides impressive load-bearing capacity. Each metre of this steel box section weighs approximately 13.46kg, offering high strength for supporting heavy loads in construction or engineering projects.
Applications
The 90mm x 90mm x 5mm Mild Steel Box Section is widely used in various industries, such as construction, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. Its excellent weldability makes it ideal for frame construction, and its toughness allows it to endure significant wear and tear in demanding environments. Common applications include:
- Structural support beams
- Fabrication of machinery frames
- Industrial shelving and frameworks
- Metal fencing and railings
- Architectural designs requiring robust steel components
Surface Finish
This box section comes with a red oxide finish, which provides temporary protection against rust during storage and transportation. The red oxide coating is easily paintable, allowing further customization and additional corrosion resistance when necessary.
Limitations
While this product excels in strength, weldability, and machinability, it does have its limitations. Its formability is considered poor, meaning it's not well-suited to bending or shaping into complex forms. Additionally, corrosion resistance is relatively low, so it may require galvanization or painting when exposed to harsh weather conditions or outdoor environments to prevent rusting over time.
Conclusion
The 90mm x 90mm x 5mm Mild Steel Box Section is an ideal material for projects requiring a strong, reliable, and easy-to-work-with structural component. Despite its limited corrosion resistance and formability, it excels in most industrial and construction settings where toughness and durability are key.
