The use and advantages of steel hollow sections

Steel hollow sections are sections that are hollow, square or rectangular in shape and have become increasingly popular in recent years as they have many advantages over traditional solid steel sections. The use of hollow sections has become popular primarily in applications where weight reduction is a key consideration. Due to the hollow design of the sections, their weight/strength ratio is significantly lower compared to solid steel sections of similar size. This means that they are ideal for creating structures that require high strength but low weight, such as bridges, transmission towers and offshore platforms.

More resistant to corrosion

Hollow sections are also more resistant to corrosion than solid steel sections, as their hollow design allows for better drainage of water and moisture. They are therefore ideal for use in extreme weather conditions such as coastal areas where the structure is exposed to the ravages of salt water. Hollow sections can also be made of stainless steel. Another major advantage of the hollow structure is that these sections offer greater resistance to bending and twisting than solid steel sections of similar size. In the construction of tall buildings, cranes and industrial structures that are subject to high loads or stresses, this is a key factor. In addition, they can be easily manufactured, cut, welded and shaped into different configurations, which makes hollow sections versatile.

Environmentally friendly solution

In addition to its physical advantages, the steel hollow section is also an environmentally friendly solution. Due to the reduced weight of the sections, less energy is required for transportation and installation, which reduces the ecological footprint of the project. In addition, they are made from recycled materials, which makes their production sustainable. 

thyssenkrupp Materials in Eastern Europe offers the following main types of steel hollow sections.

Cold-formed welded steel hollow section

It is primarily recommended for steel structure production and machine production, and can also be used in the automotive industry and agricultural machine production.

Hot-formed steel hollow section

It can be perfectly used in the field of steel structure production and machine production, and also serves as an excellent material for agricultural machine production and other superstructures.

Cold-formed steel U section

Its usability is extremely broad, so for example they are suitable for creating shelf systems, support structures and gates.
