Galvanized square pipe is made from a type of steel that has undergone a galvanizing process. The process involves dipping the pipe into a bath of molten zinc to provide a tactile, uniform barrier or coating. This method also gives galvanized square pipe a higher corrosion resistance than other carbon steel pipes.

Hot-dipped galvanized square tubing is an excellent candidate for most processing techniques. Welding, torching, or abrasive sawing galvanized steel is not recommended without proper protection and adequate ventilation. Galvanized square tubes are hot rolled steel, or mild steel, tubes that have dipped into a molten zinc coating process. Hot-dipped galvanize (HDG) can be identified by its crystallization pattern, also known as “spangle” on the surface of the material. Great corrosion resistance, excellent candidate for outdoor use or exposed environments. Common applications include structural support, outdoor signs, docks, trailers, sign posts and framing.

Galvanized square tubes are known for their durability and excellent corrosion resistance. This makes them a favored material for different industries.

Construction
This material is commonly used in the construction of modern steel-framed buildings. Due to their reliability, galvanized square tubes can safely bear the weight of large infrastructures and their occupants. In addition, galvanized square tubes are used to support the roof of a house to ensure that it does not collapse. They can also be used to construct fences and gates.

Outdoor structures
Due to its corrosion resistance, this material is used in outdoor structures. Galvanized square tubes are commonly used to make bus stops, benches, balcony railings, sidewalk covers, and fire exit ladders. Galvanized steel square tubes are also used as poles for lamp posts. In addition, they are used to support towers for high-voltage power lines that supply electricity to schools, hospitals, factories and other institutions.
