Flat Bar

Steel flat bar, also known as rectangular rolled steel bar, is a fundamental carbon structural steel product characterized by its rectangular cross-section with four flush surfaces and squared edges . As a durable and main carrier product, flat bars provide exceptional stability for framing, bracing, and support in a wide range of fabrication and structural applications .

Our hot-rolled steel flat bars are manufactured using premium low-carbon billets through advanced hot rolling processes, delivered in hot-rolled or normalized condition to ensure consistent quality and performance . With excellent strength, weldability, and machinability, our flat bars are the preferred choice for projects requiring reliable load-bearing capacity and versatility.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between flat bar and rectangular bar?

A: These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same product - a long steel product with a rectangular cross-section. Both refer to bars with four flush surfaces and squared edges, providing stability for framing and support applications .

Q: What are the most common material grades for flat bars?

A: The most common grades are mild structural steels like ASTM A36, EN 10025 S235JR, and GB Q235B for general construction. For higher strength requirements, we offer ASTM A572 GR50, S355JR/J2, and Q355B grades. Stainless steel options include 304 (1.4301) and 316L (1.4404) for corrosion-resistant applications

Q: Can you provide flat bars in non-standard lengths?

A: Yes, we offer customized lengths upon request. Standard lengths are 6m, 9m, and 12m, but we can cut to your specific requirements (e.g., 2m-18m range) subject to MOQ 

Q: Do you offer free samples?

A: Yes, we could offer free samples for quality testing. The freight cost may be collected or negotiated.
