Mild Steel Galvanised Box Section 60mm x 60mm x 3mm - Linear Metre

This mild steel galvanised box section with square dimensions and a thickness of 3mm provides a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. It is suitable for various construction and fabrication purposes where protection against rust is essential. However, it's important to note that the galvanisation process can affect weldability and machinability, requiring specialized considerations for these aspects.

1. Material: Mild Steel - Commonly used in construction and manufacturing due to its strength and cost-effectiveness.

2. Formability: Poor - Mild steel, while strong, may be less malleable or easily shaped compared to some other materials.

3. Weldability: Poor - The galvanization process, while providing corrosion resistance, can affect weldability. Specialized welding techniques or pre-treatments may be required.

4. Machinability: Poor - The galvanization process can make the material harder, impacting its machinability. Specialized tools may be needed for machining.

5. Shape: Box Section - The cross-sectional shape of this steel component is square, providing structural support in a variety of applications.

6. Corrosion Resistance: Good - The galvanised finish enhances the corrosion resistance of the mild steel, making it more resistant to rust and other forms of corrosion.

7. Finish: Galvanised - The box section has undergone a galvanisation process, resulting in a protective zinc coating that improves corrosion resistance. This finish provides a characteristic shiny appearance.

8. Grade: S235 - This indicates the structural steel grade, and S235 generally signifies a standard structural steel grade with specified minimum yield strength.

9. Weight/Metre (Kg): 5.42 - This figure represents the weight of one meter length of the galvanised box section, which is 5.42 kilograms.
