01 · PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Q235B square and rectangular hollow sections are cold-formed from hot-rolled strip and longitudinally welded to GB/T 6728. The section is square to tight corners, straight and torsion-resistant, delivering predictable strength for structural and mechanical use at a very competitive cost.

WHY CHOOSE Q235B TUBE

One material, one grade — Q235B only, no mixed chemistries in the batch. Uniform wall thickness, clean weld seam, precise outer dimensions and cut-to-length service for every order.

02 · KEY FEATURES

Square Precision

Sharp, even corners and straight sidewalls improve joint fit-up and speed up frame assembly.

High Strength-to-Weight

Closed hollow section gives excellent bending and torsional stiffness per kilogram — lighter structures than open profiles.

Easy Welding

Low carbon Q235B welds cleanly in all positions — joints are strong and free of hard spots.

Consistent Wall Thickness

Roll-formed from controlled strip, wall and corner thickness stay uniform along the full length.

Seaworthy Packing

Bundles steel-banded and weather-protected, safe for long sea freight to any destination.

Cut-to-Length Service

Any length from 1 m to 12 eu, precise mitre or square cutting available for ready-to-use parts.
