This Mild Steel Galvanised Flat Bar combines good formability, corrosion resistance, and durability, making it an ideal choice for applications where protection against rust is crucial, despite its limitations in weldability and machinability.
-
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 Galvanisation is a process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel to prevent corrosion. This finish enhances the corrosion resistance of the mild steel flat bar, making it suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.
-
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 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 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. Poor weldability suggests that this mild steel flat bar may be challenging to weld, potentially leading to weaker or less reliable joints.
-
Machinability Machinability refers to how easily a material can be machined or worked using machine tools such as lathes, milling machines, or drills. Poor machinability implies that this mild steel flat bar may be difficult to cut, shape, or drill, requiring more effort and specialized equipment.
-
Corrosion Resistance Corrosion resistance indicates a material's ability to withstand degradation when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or environmental factors. Good corrosion resistance suggests that this mild steel flat bar has been galvanized, providing effective protection against rust and corrosion, particularly in outdoor or corrosive environments.
