Description

Base Material

Properties:

Strength: Plain flat bars are known for their durability and strength, providing solid support in construction and automotive applications.
Surface Finish: Typically has a smooth, mill-finish surface, but can be polished or coated for specific uses.
Versatility: Can be used in a wide range of structural and industrial applications due to its simple rectangular shape, making it easy to weld, cut, or machine.

Manufacturing Process

Heating: Steel billets are heated in a furnace to make them malleable for rolling.
Rolling: The heated billets are passed through rollers to form flat bars of various thicknesses and widths.
Cutting: The bars are then cut to the required length depending on customer specifications.
Finishing: The bars may undergo additional processes, such as coating or grinding, for specific applications (e.g., corrosion resistance or surface finish).
