WHAT IS OVERSIZED GROUND FLAT STOCK?

An Oversized Ground Flat Stock is a precision ground flat bar with an extra machining allowance for the thickness and width. The extra allowance enables the end user to cut, heat treat and grind the ground flat stock to the exact dimensions required.

STEEL SELECTION OF OVERSIZED GROUND FLAT STOCK (GFS)

To find the right Standard Ground Flat Steel for your project, you can use two methods:

Method 1: Initial or proactive GFS Steel Selection

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

Method 2: Reactive GFS Steel Selection

This method involves identifying the causes of failure or malfunction of the component and selecting the appropriate GFS steel grade based on the new required properties.
