Product Description
AS 1163 C350 steel pipe is a type of cold-formed electric resistance welded (ERW) hollow structural steel pipe. It is widely used in various structural applications due to its excellent mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness.
Basic Characteristics
Manufacturing Process: AS 1163 C350 steel pipes are produced through a cold-formed process, which involves rolling steel sheets into the desired shape and then welding the seam using electric resistance welding.
Grade Classification: The "C350" in AS 1163 C350 indicates that the steel has a minimum yield strength of 350 MPa. The prefix "C" signifies that the steel is cold-formed.
Chemical Composition
AS 1163 C350 steel is a carbon-manganese steel with controlled amounts of alloying elements to achieve its mechanical properties. The key elements and their maximum limits are:

NOTES: 1 The use of sulphide modification manufacturing techniques for these grades is permitted . 2 The following elements may be present to the limits stated: (a) Copper 0.25% . (b) Nickel 0.25% . 3 Limits specified are for soluble or total aluminum . 4 Carbon equivalent (CE) is calculated from the following equation: 5 Applies to niobium and vanadium only . However, niobium greater than 0.010% is not permitted. 6 Applies to niobium, vanadium and titanium only . However, vanadium greater than 0. 10% is not permitted . 7 For circular hollow sections (CHS), the silicon limit shall be 0.45. | |||||||||||
Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of the AS/NZS 1163 steel pipe are particularly critical. During the production process, we ensure that each pipe meets the parameters of tensile strength, yield strength and elongation AS/NZS 1163. Ensure the bearing capacity and stability of each steel pipe.

Dimensions & Tolerances
The standard AS/NZS 1163 specifies several common shapes of steel pipes, including round, square and rectangular.
Round steel pipe: Round steel pipe smooth section, easy to connect and install, suitable for a variety of structural projects, because it can evenly distribute pressure, ensuring strong compression and bending resistance.
Square steel pipe: with a regular square cross-section, square steel pipe is convenient for positioning and fixing, and its excellent torsional and flexural properties make it perform well in occasions where lateral forces are required.
Rectangular steel pipe: the length and width can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to meet diverse design needs, especially suitable for structural systems that need to withstand specific directional forces.
