Mild Steel Box Section Mill Finish 12.7mm x 12.7mm x 1.2mm (1/2" x 1/2" x 18swg)

This mild steel box section, with specific dimensions and grade (E220), is suitable for various applications where a lightweight, yet structurally sound, material with good weldability and machinability is required. The "Mill Finish" suggests that it might require additional corrosion protection measures if used in environments where corrosion is a concern. The small size and weight make it applicable for uses ranging from construction to fabrication.

• Material: The box section is made of mild steel, specifically using the grade E220. E220 is a designation for mild steel with a specified minimum yield strength.

• Formability: The formability is described as poor, indicating that this box section may be less malleable or less easily shaped compared to materials with better formability. This characteristic might impact its suitability for certain fabrication processes.

• Weldability: The weldability is described as excellent. Mild steel generally exhibits good weldability, making it suitable for various welding processes.

• Machinability: The machinability is described as excellent, indicating that this box section is relatively easy to machine compared to materials with lower machinability.

• Shape: The shape of this component is described as a box section, indicating a hollow rectangular or square profile.

• Corrosion Resistance: The corrosion resistance is described as poor. The "Mill Finish" indicates that the surface has not undergone any additional coating or treatment for corrosion resistance. Mild steel without additional protective measures is susceptible to corrosion in certain environments.

• Finish: The finish is specified as "Mill Finish," indicating that the surface has not undergone additional treatments beyond the manufacturing process.

• Grade: The grade of the mild steel used is E220, indicating a specific designation for mild steel with defined mechanical properties.

• Dimensions:

  • Height: The height of the box section is 12.7mm.
  • Thickness: The thickness of the box section is 1.2mm.
  • Width: The width of the box section is 12.7mm.

• Weight/Metre (Kg): The weight of one meter of this mild steel box section is 0.44 kilograms, indicating its density and providing insights into considerations for handling and installation.
