Flat Steel & Flat Square Tube,Q235B / Q355B / S235JR / S355JR / A36 / SS400
1. Product Overview
Flat steel, also known as flat bar, is a long strip-shaped steel product with a rectangular cross-section, featuring a smooth surface, uniform thickness, and stable mechanical properties. It is a versatile and economical metal profile widely used in industrial production, construction engineering, machinery manufacturing, and other fields. With its simple structure, easy processing, and reliable performance, flat steel serves as a key material for structural support, connection, reinforcement, and decorative applications, providing practical and cost-effective solutions for various projects at home and abroad.
Different from other profiles such as angle steel and H-beam, flat steel has a flat and wide cross-section, which enables it to bear uniform pressure, ensure stable connection, and be easily cut, bent, and welded according to actual needs. It is available in various specifications, surface treatments, and materials to adapt to different working environments and engineering requirements.
2. Product Classification
2.1 By Cross-Section and Use
General Flat Steel: The cross-section is a regular rectangle, with a width ranging from 10mm to 200mm and a thickness from 3mm to 50mm. It is widely used in general structural components, such as brackets, reinforcements, connecting plates, and base plates, and is the most commonly used type of flat steel in engineering.
Strip Steel: A type of thin and narrow flat steel, with a width usually less than 100mm and a thickness of 0.2mm to 3mm. It is mainly used in small-scale structural parts, decorative parts, hardware products, and as raw materials for further processing (such as stamping and bending).
Special-Shaped Flat Steel: Customized according to customer requirements, with special cross-sectional shapes (such as rounded edges, beveled edges, or unequal thickness) to meet specific structural and installation needs, commonly used in special machinery, equipment, and decorative projects.
2.2 By Surface Treatment
Hot-Rolled Black Flat Steel: Produced by high-temperature rolling process, retaining the original black oxide surface formed during rolling. It has the advantages of high production efficiency, stable performance, and low cost, suitable for indoor structures, components that require subsequent anti-corrosion treatment, or non-corrosive working environments.
Hot-Dipped Galvanized Flat Steel: After hot-dip galvanizing treatment, a dense and uniform zinc coating is formed on the surface, which has excellent rust resistance, corrosion resistance, and weather resistance. It is widely used in outdoor facilities, coastal projects, high-humidity environments, and other occasions that require long-term anti-corrosion protection.
Painted Flat Steel: Coated with anti-rust paint or decorative paint on the surface, which not only plays a role in anti-corrosion but also can be customized in color according to needs. It is suitable for decorative projects, indoor and outdoor frames, and components with aesthetic requirements.
Sandblasted Flat Steel: The surface is treated by sandblasting to remove oxide scale, rust, and impurities, making the surface smooth and clean. It is usually used as a pre-treatment for painting or galvanizing, or for occasions that require high surface flatness and cleanliness.
2.3 By Production Process
Hot-Rolled Flat Steel: The main production method, using steel billets for high-temperature rolling, with uniform thickness, stable mechanical properties, and standard specifications. It is suitable for large-scale production and most conventional engineering applications.
Cold-Rolled Flat Steel: Produced by cold rolling process at room temperature, with higher precision, smoother surface, and better dimensional accuracy than hot-rolled flat steel. It is suitable for occasions that require high surface quality and dimensional precision, such as precision machinery, decorative parts, and electronic equipment brackets.
Welded Flat Steel: Welded by steel plates of appropriate thickness and width, which can be customized into large-size or special-specification flat steel that is difficult to produce by rolling. It is suitable for large-scale engineering, special structures, and non-standard component requirements.
