If the steel is not ERW it will be Hollow Rolled Section or known as black by most production welders. Theres nothing wrong with using it for a chassis but it will very dirty to work with, it's not known as black for nothing. It will be at least 2mm wall so you might want to put a weld prep or 45' camfer on the ends if using a hobby MIG welder.
