FAQ for Steel Supply Services
1.What is Steel Flat Bar?
Steel Flat Bar is a rectangular steel section with a flat surface and straight edges. It is widely used in fabrication, construction, frames, supports, brackets, machinery parts and general industrial projects because it is easy to cut, weld, drill, punch and process.
What is the difference between Hot Rolled Flat Bar and Slit Flat Bar from HRC?
Hot Rolled Flat Bar is kind of Flat Bar directly hot rolled by steel billet, but for slit Flat Bar, it is produced from Hot Rolled Coil or Hot Rolled Strip by slitting into the required sizes.
What is the standard length of Hot Rolled Steel Flat Bar in China?
6meter
9meter
12meter
Can SKSteel provide cut-to-length Steel Flat Bars?
Yes. We offer value-added processing services including:
Cutting
Drilling
Punching
Welding
Surface treatment
Painting Fabrication
What’s the difference between Flat Bar and Square Bar?
Steel Flat Bar has a rectangular cross section with width larger than thickness, while Square Bar has equal width and thickness. Flat Bar is commonly used for plates, straps, frames and brackets, while Square Bar is often used for shafts, supports, pins and decorative fabrication.
Can 6meter or 12meter Steel Flat Bar be loaded into 20ft Container or 40ft Container?
Yes, SKSteel can make shipment for 6meter steel flat bar by 20ft Container and 12meter steel flat bar by 40ft Container according to bundle weight, size range and loading plan.
