This galvanised mild steel box section with rectangular dimensions and a thickness of 3mm provides strength and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor and structural applications. However, its poor formability, weldability, and machinability may require careful consideration during fabrication and installation processes.
-
Material: Mild Steel - Commonly used in construction and manufacturing due to its strength and cost-effectiveness.
-
Formability: Poor - Mild steel, while strong, may be less malleable or easily shaped compared to some other materials.
-
Weldability: Poor - Galvanization can impact the weldability of mild steel, and additional precautions may be needed during welding.
-
Machinability: Poor - The galvanization process can make the material harder, impacting machinability. Special tools may be required for machining.
-
Shape: Box Section - The cross-sectional shape of this steel component is rectangular, providing structural support in a variety of applications.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Good - The galvanised finish enhances the corrosion resistance of the mild steel, making it suitable for outdoor applications and environments with exposure to moisture.
-
Finish: Galvanised - The box section has a galvanised finish, indicating that it has undergone a protective zinc coating process. This provides enhanced resistance against corrosion.
-
Grade: S235 - A specific grade classification for the mild steel, indicating its structural properties. S235 is a commonly used structural steel grade.
-
Weight/Metre (Kg): 6.84 - This figure represents the weight of one meter length of the box section, which is 6.84 kilograms.
