Mild Steel Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS)
Mild Steel Rectangular Hollow Sections (MS RHS) are essential components in the construction, engineering, and manufacturing industries. Recognized for their balance of strength, flexibility, and affordability, these hollow sections are suitable for a wide variety of structural and functional applications. Their clean lines and uniform shape make them a reliable choice for both heavy-duty frameworks and sleek architectural designs.
🔎 What Are Mild Steel Rectangular Hollow Section?
Rectangular Hollow Sections are tubular steel profiles with a rectangular cross-section, made from low-carbon mild steel. Mild steel is easy to cut, drill, weld, and shape, making it the ideal material for fabricators and engineers who need flexibility in their projects. These sections are widely used in construction and metal works due to their structural strength and compatibility with various joining methods.
✅ Key Features & Benefits
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Offers excellent load-bearing capacity without excessive weight, perfect for structural designs where stability and efficiency matter.
- Good Weldability & Formability: Easy to fabricate into custom shapes and connections for more complex projects.
- Durable & Long-Lasting: Resistant to deformation under stress, making it suitable for long-term use in industrial and outdoor applications.
- Cost-Effective Material: A budget-friendly choice compared to stainless steel or aluminum, without compromising strength and utility.
- Aesthetic Finish: Smooth surfaces and straight edges enhance the appearance of exposed structures in modern architecture.
