Rechteckrohre

Rechteckrohre, also known as rectangular tubes, are hollow structural sections with a rectangular cross-section. They are commonly manufactured from steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. The manufacturing process typically involves forming a flat sheet into a rectangular shape and then welding the seam. These tubes offer good strength and rigidity due to their shape, making them suitable for various structural applications.

The primary uses of rechteckrohre include construction, where they are employed as beams, columns, and support structures in buildings, bridges, and industrial frameworks. They are also utilized in the automotive industry for chassis components and exhaust systems. Furthermore, rechteckrohre find application in furniture manufacturing, machine building, and the creation of decorative elements. Their flat surfaces facilitate easy joining and integration with other components.

Compared to round tubes of the same material and wall thickness, rechteckrohre generally offer greater resistance to bending in certain directions, especially when loads are applied perpendicular to the wider face. However, they can be more prone to buckling under compressive loads if not adequately braced. The choice between rechteckrohre and other structural shapes depends on the specific engineering requirements, including load-bearing capacity, stability, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness. They are available in a wide range of dimensions, wall thicknesses, and material grades to meet diverse project needs.
