About Mild Steel Flat Bar
Mild Steel Flat Bar are versatile structural elements used in a wide range of applications due to their simplicity and ease of fabrication. They have a rectangular cross-section with parallel sides and are typically characterized by their uniform thickness and width. These are used in structural applications, such as frames, supports, and bracing and can be used for building and infrastructure projects. The offered bars are often used for brackets, supports, and reinforcement. The size of the flat bar should be chosen based on the load it needs to support and the specific design requirements. Mild Steel Flat Bar is coated with zinc to enhance corrosion resistance, especially for outdoor or harsh environments.
Superior Material PropertiesMild Steel Flat Bars feature impressive mechanical properties, including moderate corrosion resistance, a hardness range of 120160 HB, and conformity with IS and ASTM tolerances. These attributes make them reliable for high-request industrial uses. Their square edge finish ensures compatibility in welding and assembly processes, enhancing structural integrity in diverse environments.
Customizable Dimensions and FinishesClients can choose from a wide array of sizes, thicknesses ranging from 3mm to 40mm, and custom cut lengths up to standard 6-meter bars. Surface treatments such as hot rolling, cold drawing, and pickling are available to suit specific project needs. The polished, metallic grey finish not only provides aesthetic appeal but also better resistance against wear and corrosion when treated.
Applications Across IndustriesMild Steel Flat Bars are primarily utilized in construction, fabrication, manufacturing, and machinery sectors. Their excellent weldability and good machinability make them suitable for both structural and decorative purposes. Originating from India, these bars meet rigorous quality standards, ensuring consistent performance wherever durability is required.
