25mm x 25mm x 2mm Galvanised Mild Steel Box Section, Corrosion Resistant, Ideal for Outdoor Use, Poor Weldability and Machinability Linear Metre

This mild steel galvanised box section, with specific dimensions and grade (S235), is suitable for applications where good corrosion resistance is essential. However, its poor formability, weldability, and machinability may influence its suitability for certain fabrication processes. The galvanised finish makes it more resilient to corrosion, making it a suitable choice for outdoor or corrosive environments.

• Material: The box section is made of mild steel with a specified grade of S235. S235 is likely a designation for mild steel with specific mechanical and chemical properties.

• 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. Mild steel, when galvanized, may experience changes in its welding properties. Welding galvanized steel requires proper techniques to avoid issues like porosity or weakening of the galvanized coating.

• Machinability: The machinability is described as poor, suggesting that this box section is relatively difficult to machine. The galvanizing process can introduce a layer that may affect machinability.

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

• Corrosion Resistance: The corrosion resistance is described as good. The galvanised finish provides a protective layer of zinc on the surface, enhancing the steel's resistance to corrosion. This makes it more suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments compared to untreated mild steel.

• Finish: The finish is specified as "Galvanised," indicating that the box section has undergone a galvanizing process for improved corrosion resistance.

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

• Dimensions:

  • Height: The height of the box section is 25mm.
  • Thickness: The thickness of the box section is 2mm.
  • Width: The width of the box section is 25mm.

• Weight/Metre (Kg): The weight of one meter of this mild steel galvanised box section is 1.46 kilograms, indicating its density and providing insights into considerations for handling and installation.
