This steel square is characterized by its excellent weldability and machinability, making it suitable for fabrication. It features a square bar shape with dimensions of 15.8mm for height, thickness, and width. Despite its robust mechanical properties, it exhibits poor corrosion resistance, thus requiring careful handling. Enhanced with a self-colour finish, it maintains its natural appearance without additional treatment.
-
Material: Mild Steel is Known for its low carbon content, providing a good balance of strength, ductility, and ease of fabrication.
-
Dimensions: 15.8 mm (5/8 inch) for height, thickness, and width, making it suitable for medium-duty applications.
-
Formability: Although not explicitly mentioned, mild steel typically has good formability, allowing it to be easily shaped and formed.
-
Weldability: Rated as excellent, indicating that the material can be readily welded using standard welding techniques to create strong and durable joints.
-
Machinability: Rated as excellent, signifying that the material can be easily machined to precise dimensions and finishes, making it suitable for manufacturing components that require high precision.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Rated as poor, meaning the material is prone to rust and corrosion if not protected. It requires appropriate coatings or regular maintenance to prevent degradation in corrosive environments.
-
Finish: The natural finish of the steel without any additional surface treatment, often requiring further finishing processes depending on the application.
-
Weight: With a weight per metre of 1.99 kg, the square bar provides a substantial mass suitable for structural and load-bearing applications.
