FLAT BAR STEEL SELECTION

To find the right Flat Bar for your project, you can use two methods:

Method 1: Initial or proactive Steel Blanks Selection

For this method, it is necessary to determine the extent of the primary properties and dimensions the desired Flat Bar must have.

Method 2: Reactive Steel Blanks Selection

With this method, the causes are determined after a failure or breakdown of the component and a suitable steel quality of Flat Steel Stock is selected on the basis of the new required properties.
