hot rolled steel flat bar
Hot rolled steel flat bar represents a fundamental product in the metal fabrication industry, manufactured through a high-temperature rolling process that shapes steel into uniform, flat sections. This versatile material is produced by heating steel billets to temperatures exceeding 1700°F, then passing them through a series of rollers that gradually reduce thickness and ensure consistent dimensions. The process results in a product that exhibits excellent strength-to-weight ratios and maintains superior workability characteristics. These flat bars are available in various widths and thicknesses, typically ranging from 1/8 inch to 8 inches in thickness and up to 12 inches in width. The hot rolling process imparts beneficial properties to the steel, including improved ductility and internal stress relief. Common applications span across multiple industries, including construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure development. The material serves as a crucial component in structural supports, equipment fabrication, transportation systems, and various architectural applications. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for both heavy-duty industrial applications and precision engineering projects.
