20mm x 20mm x 2mm Galvanised Mild Steel Box Section, S235, Corrosion Resistant, Poor Weldability, Ideal for Outdoor Structures, 1.14kg/m Linear Metre

This mild steel galvanised box section, with specific dimensions and grade (S235), is suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is essential, such as outdoor structures. However, the poor formability, weldability, and machinability may limit its ease of fabrication and modification. It is important to consider these factors based on the intended use and processing requirements.

• Material: The box section is made of mild steel with a specified grade of S235. S235 is a designation for structural 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 poor. While mild steel is generally weldable, the galvanizing process can affect the weldability. Welding galvanized steel may require additional precautions to avoid issues such as zinc vaporization.

• Machinability: The machinability is described as poor, suggesting that this box section may be more challenging to machine compared to materials with better 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 good. The box section has been galvanized, which involves coating the steel with a layer of zinc. This zinc coating provides protection against corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments.

• Finish: The finish is specified as "Galvanised," indicating that the box section has undergone a galvanizing process, resulting in a protective layer of zinc.

• Grade: The grade of the mild steel used is S235, indicating a specific designation for structural steel with defined mechanical properties.

• Dimensions:

  • Height: The height of the box section is 20mm.
  • Thickness: The thickness of the box section is 2mm.
  • Width: The width of the box section is 20mm.

• Weight/Metre (Kg): The weight of one meter of this mild steel galvanised box section is 1.14 kilograms, indicating its density and providing insights into considerations for handling and installation.
