Product Description

The Structural Stainless Steel Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) is a cold-formed or hot-finished welded hollow profile specifically engineered for load-bearing applications in construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects. Manufactured from high-strength austenitic or duplex stainless steel grades, this section offers an exceptional combination of high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, fire resistance, and long-term durability. Unlike decorative or architectural grades, structural RHS is produced with stricter mechanical property requirements and enhanced weld integrity for reliable performance under static and dynamic loads.

Design Advantages of Stainless Steel RHS
Advantage Description
Torsional Rigidity Closed section provides excellent resistance to twisting
Uniform Strength Properties equal in both axes (square sections)
Aesthetic Appearance Clean lines for visible structural applications
Reduced Weight Hollow design minimizes material while maintaining strength
Corrosion Allowance No additional thickness required for rust loss
Life Cycle Cost Lower total cost due to eliminated coating and reduced maintenance
Structural Grade Comparison
Property Carbon Steel (S355) Stainless Steel 304 Stainless Steel 316 Duplex 2205
Yield strength (MPa) 355 205 205 450
Corrosion resistance Poor (requires coating) Excellent Excellent Excellent
Fire resistance Good (requires protection) Excellent Excellent Excellent
Maintenance High (repainting) Low Low Low
Initial cost Low Medium High High
Life cycle cost High Low Low Low
Fabrication Guidelines
Process Recommendation
Cutting Band saw, abrasive wheel, or plasma cutter
Welding TIG (GTAW) or MIG (GMAW); use matching filler metal (ER308/ER316/ER2209)
Drilling Cobalt or carbide drill bits; use cutting fluid
Machining Use sharp tools; lower cutting speeds than carbon steel
Bending Use mandrel or roll bender; annealed condition preferred

    Precision cold rolled stainless steel strip is a narrow, thin-gauge stainless steel product manufactured to significantly tighter thickness and width tolerances than standard cold-rolled sheet. Unlike standard sheet (typically 1000mm or 1219mm wide), precision strip is produced in narrow widths — usually less than 600mm — and thin gauges from 0.05mm up to 3.0mm. The key differentiator is the tolerance : the precision strip holds thickness variations to as low as ±0.005mm,
