This Mild Steel Flat Bar with a Bright Finish combines good formability, excellent weldability, and machinability, making it an ideal choice for various applications where strength, versatility, and aesthetic appeal are desired.
Material Mild steel is a type of carbon steel known for its low carbon content, making it relatively ductile, malleable, and easy to work with. It's commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and engineering due to its affordability and versatility.
Shape This refers to the physical form of the steel, which is flat and elongated with a rectangular cross-section. Flat bars are often used for structural support, fabrication, and industrial applications.
Finish Mill Finish
Grade EN3B is a specific grade designation that indicates the quality and characteristics of the mild steel. It likely conforms to certain standards set by the European Norm (EN) for mechanical properties, chemical composition, and other performance criteria.
Thickness This specifies the thickness of the flat bar, indicating the distance between its two parallel surfaces. In this case, the thickness is 3mm.
Width The width denotes the measurement across the flat bar, perpendicular to its thickness. It's the distance between the two opposite edges of the flat bar. Here, the width is 25mm.
Weight/Metre: 0.59 kg: This measurement represents the weight of one meter length of the mild steel flat bar. It provides insight into the density and mass of the steel, aiding in material handling and structural calculations.
Formability: Good: Formability refers to the ease with which a material can be shaped, bent, or formed without cracking or breaking. Good formability indicates that this mild steel flat bar can be readily manipulated into various shapes or configurations.
Weldability: Excellent: Weldability refers to how easily a material can be welded to other pieces of metal. Excellent weldability means that this mild steel flat bar can be joined to other components seamlessly through welding processes like arc welding, MIG welding, or TIG welding.
Machinability: Excellent: Machinability refers to how easily a material can be machined or worked using machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, or drills. Excellent machinability implies that this mild steel flat bar can be accurately shaped, drilled, or cut with minimal effort.
Corrosion Resistance: Poor: Corrosion resistance indicates a material's ability to withstand degradation when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or environmental factors. Poor corrosion resistance suggests that this mild steel flat bar may be susceptible to rust or corrosion over time, particularly in corrosive environments, necessitating appropriate protective measures.
