Frequently asked questions
Do you offer a cutting service for mild steel circular hollow sections?
Absolutely – and we’ve made our cutting service even better. Rather than paying for a standard length before having it cut down, you only pay for the exact length you need. Just enter the length and we’ll calculate the cost based on the metre price – it’s that simple.
To reduce waste and make the most of every piece, we also save any usable offcuts for future custom cuts, making sure that we minimise waste while delivering exactly what you need.
Does mild steel bend easily?
One great feature of mild steel is that it's easy to shape and bend. It's a ductile material, which means that it can bend without breaking. This flexibility comes from its low carbon content, which makes it more bendable and softer than steels with more carbon.
What is the lifespan of mild steel circular hollow section?
The lifespan of mild steel circular hollow sections varies based on exposure to the elements and any protective treatments. Outdoors, untreated mild steel can rust over time, depending on the level of moisture. However, galvanised steel with a zinc coating can last 25–50 years in normal conditions, or 15–20 years in tough environments.
Indoors, where it's dry, mild steel can last over 50 years. And regular maintenance and protective coatings can help extend its life even further.
Is mild steel the cheapest steel?
Yes, mild steel is generally the cheapest type of steel available. This is because it has a low carbon content, making it easier and less expensive to produce compared to other types of steel, such as stainless steel or high-carbon steel.
What is mild steel hollow section?
Mild steel hollow section is a hollow tubular section made from a common type of steel, which has a low carbon content.
What is a circular hollow section used for?

Common applications include structural frameworks, furniture making, automotive components and fencing. Their balance of strength and cost makes them ideal for a range of projects.
What grade of steel is used for hollow section material?
