This Mild Steel Flat Bar, galvanized for added corrosion resistance, offers excellent formability but has poor weldability and machinability. It is suitable for various applications where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as outdoor structures or components exposed to moisture.
Material: Constructed from mild steel, providing a combination of strength and workability.
Formability: Exhibits excellent formability, allowing for easy shaping and bending into various configurations without compromising structural integrity.
Weldability: Rated as poor for weldability, suggesting challenges in creating strong and reliable welds when joining with other metal components.
Machinability: Similarly rated as poor for machinability, indicating difficulties in cutting, drilling, and shaping using standard machining techniques.
Shape: Presented as a flat bar, providing versatility for structural support, fabrication, and other applications requiring a flat, elongated profile.
Corrosion Resistance: Rated as good due to galvanization, which involves coating the steel with a layer of zinc to protect against rust and corrosion, especially in outdoor or humid environments.
Finish: Galvanized finish indicates that the steel has been coated with a layer of zinc, providing enhanced protection against corrosion and offering a shiny or metallic appearance.
Grade: Identified as S275JR, adhering to European standards and specifications for mild steel, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
Thickness: Measures 6mm, providing sufficient strength for various applications while remaining relatively lightweight.
Width: Measures 100mm, offering a broad surface area suitable for supporting moderate loads or spanning wider gaps.
Weight/Metre (Kg): Weighs approximately 4.71 kilograms per meter of length, aiding in determining handling and transportation requirements.
