This galvanized mild steel box section with square dimensions and a thickness of 2.5mm provides increased strength and corrosion resistance compared to untreated mild steel. It is suitable for outdoor applications where protection against rust is essential. However, it's important to note the reduced weldability and machinability associated with galvanized steel, and appropriate precautions should be taken during fabrication.
-
Material: Mild Steel - This type of steel is 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 affect the weldability of the steel. Special considerations and techniques may be needed for welding galvanized steel.
-
Machinability: Poor - The galvanization process can make the steel less machinable compared to untreated mild steel.
-
Shape: Box Section - The cross-sectional shape of this steel component is square, providing structural support in a variety of applications.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Good - Galvanization enhances the corrosion resistance of the mild steel, making it suitable for outdoor and corrosive environments.
-
Finish: Galvanised - The box section has a galvanized finish, indicating that it has undergone the process of coating with a layer of zinc for corrosion protection.
-
Grade: S235 - This grade classification refers to the minimum yield strength of the steel.
-
Height: 40mm
-
Thickness: 2.5mm
-
