Cold-formed welded and seamless high-strength, low-alloy round, square, rectangular, or special shaped structural tubing for welded, riveted, or bolted construction of bridges and buildings and for general structural purposes where high strength and enhanced atmospheric corrosion resistance are required. The atmospheric corrosion resistance of this steel in most environments is substantially better than carbon steel with or without copper addition. When properly exposed to the atmosphere, this steel can be used bare (unpainted) for many applications.
