This Black Mild Steel Flat Bar combines excellent formability, weldability, and machinability, making it an ideal choice for various applications where strength and reliability are essential, despite its limitations in corrosion resistance.
Material Mild steel is a type of carbon steel that contains low carbon content, making it relatively ductile, malleable, and easy to work with. It is widely used in various industries 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 commonly used for structural support, fabrication, and industrial applications.
Finish Mill finish refers to the untreated surface of the steel straight from the manufacturing process. It typically has a smooth and uniform appearance without any additional coatings or treatments.
Grade S275JR 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 6mm.
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 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 Formability refers to the ease with which a material can be shaped, bent, or formed without cracking or breaking. Excellent formability indicates that this mild steel flat bar can be readily manipulated into various shapes or configurations.
Weldability 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 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 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.
