RE: some questions about steel fabrications
1) Contact you local fabricator or supplier. The fabricator that will be doing the fabricating for you will tell you what they are capable of - or - the supplier that you or the contractor would be purchasing from will tell you what is available.
2) HSS (hollow) sections are typically hot rolled sheet / plate, cold-formed to shape or section, and then shop welded, seam welded to close.
3) 2mm weld is extremely small. The smallest I've ever specified would be 4-5 mm. The weld specification will depend on your application.
Contact your local fabricator or supplier. They will be the experts to these questions.
