General Properties and Applications
Hollow structural steel (HSS) is a type of steel tubing that is made to be incredibly strong. Although often made as square tubing, it can be made in a variety of shapes. Some of the most popular shapes include both round and rectangular tubing.
Because this kind of steel is so strong, it’s frequently used in buildings as structural supports (thus its name). Plus, it’s fire-resistant and doesn’t warp, twist, split, swell or shrink. It’s easy to fabricate and can be readily bent, formed, punched and drilled as well.
Steel as a material is ideal for a vast multitude of uses which is why it’s consistently used the world over. It’s also endlessly recyclable, incredibly strong and durable, and benefits from also being highly affordable compared to other materials.
Principle Uses:
- Automotive frames
- Structural supports in a wide variety of infrastructure
