STANDARD FLAT STEEL

Standard Flat Steel is a Steel Flat Bar and the most conventional and versatile form of flat steel. Steel flat stock is characterized by its uniform dimensions and properties. Therefore, Flat Steel provides a solid basis for a wide range of construction and manufacturing applications.


Standardized dimensions and reliable quality make Flat Steel a dependable component in production and construction, promising both efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FLAT STEEL AND STEEL SHEET?

Flat steel belongs to the category of long products, and steel sheets belong to the category of flat products.

Flat steel: Width less than 5 29/32" (150 mm) - Material thickness (thickness) greater than 13/64" (5 mm)
Steel sheet: Width at least 11 13/16" (300 mm) - Material thickness (thickness) less than 13/64" (5 mm)

Precision Flat Steel in Regular Size




Precision Flat Steel in Regular Size is solid steel flat plate and suitable for projects in which dimensional accuracy plays a decisive role.


With this steel, no further processing steps are required to maintain specific dimensions.



Precision Flat Steel in Oversize


Precision Flat Steel in Oversize is a steel product that features additional material allowances for subsequent machining processes. These steel flats are ideal for high-precision applications where specific dimensions and tolerances must be strictly adhered to.

Oversize Flat Steel Bars allow users to cut, mill, or grind the steel to achieve exact dimensions required for the final product. This added value guarantees an exceptionally high level of fit.

Pre-Hardened Flat Steel

Pre-Hardened Flat Steel is a steel that has undergone a special treatment. The surface of the steel is hardened through a heat treatment process to achieve increased wear resistance and hardness. This makes the pre-hardened Steel Flat Bar the first choice for applications requiring exceptional resistance to physical stress and wear.



Thus, hardened flat steel is ideal for making tools, machine components, and in the automotive industry, where durability and reliability is non-negotiable.
