Technical Breakdown
Hollow box type souls (HBS) are characterized by a hollow rectangular section with a corrugated inner surface. This design provides exceptional torsional rigidity and load-bearing capacity compared to traditional solid souls. Due to their lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio, HBSs are often employed in applications with stringent weight and strength requirements.
Performance Insights
HBSs exhibit superior resistance to twisting forces and lateral loads due to their closed rectangular cross-section. The corrugated inner surface enhances the stiffness and load-bearing capacity by distributing forces more efficiently throughout the structure. As a result, HBSs can withstand higher loads without deformation or failure.
Technical Specification
HBSs are typically fabricated from high-strength steel, with thicknesses ranging from 0.4mm to 1.6mm. The thickness and grade of steel used determine the specific strength and stiffness properties of the soul. In addition, these souls can be manufactured in various lengths and widths to suit specific design requirements.
