Product description:

Square and rectangular sectioned steel pipes are collectively referred to as square and rectangular sectioned steel pipes, and they belong to a type of welded steel pipes. They are also known as "steel cold-formed sections".

Due to their unique cross-sectional shape and excellent mechanical properties, square and rectangular sectioned steel pipes are widely used in modern industries, construction and manufacturing, and have become an indispensable basic steel material.

Welded Square and rectangular tubes, also known as welded hollow sections (WHS), are essential structural materials widely used in construction, mechanical manufacturing, automotive engineering, furniture production, and industrial frameworks. These tubes are formed by rolling and welding steel strips or coils into square or rectangular shapes, offering excellent strength, dimensional precision, and cost efficiency. Compared with seamless tubes, welded tubes provide greater flexibility in size customization, lighter weight, and more economical production — making them a preferred choice for structural and decorative applications worldwide.

Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing of welded square and rectangular tubes involves several precise stages to ensure high quality and performance:

Material Preparation: High-quality hot-rolled or cold-rolled steel coils (carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel) are selected and inspected.

Forming: The steel strip is passed through a series of rollers that gradually shape it into a round, square, or rectangular form.

Welding: The edges of the formed tube are high-frequency welded (ERW) or submerged arc welded (SAW) to create a continuous, durable seam.

Sizing and Straightening: The welded tube is shaped to the exact square or rectangular dimensions and straightened to maintain precision.

Cutting and Finishing: Tubes are cut to specific lengths and may undergo surface treatments such as galvanizing, pickling, or painting.

Quality Inspection: Every tube is tested for weld integrity, surface smoothness, and dimensional tolerance to meet international standards.

This process ensures that welded hollow sections have consistent wall thickness, tight tolerances, and smooth surfaces suitable for both load-bearing and decorative applications.

Material Grades

Common material grades include:

Carbon Steel: S235JR, S275JR, S355JR, Q195, Q235, Q345

Alloy Steel: 20MnV6, 30CrMo, 42CrMo

Stainless Steel: 304, 316L, 321, 201

Each grade offers specific advantages such as higher yield strength, corrosion resistance, or formability, allowing for optimal selection based on project requirements.
