What is AS_NZS 1163

AS/NZS 1163

AS/NZS 1163 covers cold-formed structural steel hollow sections. It is a premium product that meets the rigorous Australian/New Zealand Standards.

These hollow sections are made by cold forming and electric resistance welding. This ensures the best quality for structural use.

The steel hollow sections come in three strength grades. You can get them with or without impact properties. They are good for welding and form cold without heat treatment.

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.
