Product characteristics
Wall thickness -> up to 20 mm
Tighter corner radius -> Ra ≤ 1.6T (special Ra requirements on request)
Defined design of outsider corner -> due to seamless hot-rolling
Larger cross-sectional areas -> due to tigther corner radius
Excellent weldability -> less welding filler required
Superior load-bearing capacity -> larger spans possible
No weld seams -> due to seamless hot-rolling
Low residual stress -> due to homogeneous structure
