You’ll find mild steel rectangular tube used extensively in:

• Construction: Anywhere lightweight steel tubing is required where its modest strength is suitable. It is often used for internal structures, adding rigidity to forms and other uses.
• Manufacturing: The box section is a robust shape offering higher strength than the thickness and weight would indicate, ideal for many applications.
• General use: You can find mild steel rectangular tubes in caravans, trailers, air conditioning systems, homes, workshops, schools and anywhere a box section adds value.

Benefits of mild steel

The benefits of mild steel are many and varied. Perhaps that’s why it’s one of the most common man-made materials around!

Key benefits of mild steel include:

• Availability: Mild steel is plentiful in supply and easy to manufacture, meaning it can be made in high quantities.
• Cost-effectiveness: The abundance of mild steel means that the material is relatively low-cost. The main cost in the manufacturing of mild steel is energy, and you’ll often find this is reflected in the lower purchase cost.
• Flexibility: Mild steel can be shaped, rolled, cut, bent, welded, painted, treated and used in a variety of applications.
• Strength: Mild steel offers decent strength for its weight, especially when in rectangular tube form.

Mild steel rectangular tubing uses standard steel sheets hot rolled into shape, retaining the strength and characteristics we need.

As a low-carbon steel specification, mild steel rectangular tube S235/S275 provides low strength with good machinability and is suitable for welding.

Use it anywhere you need a little rigidity without adding too much weight.
