It’s a reliable and practical material that many professionals trust and turn to when working on projects that require a sturdy and dependable metal strip.

Engineers and contractors use flat bar extensively in the manufacture of support braces, latches, mechanical parts, industrial tools, etc., as well as for many DIY projects.

As a result of its good to excellent formability, mild steel flat bar can easily be joined by welding processes or by means of fixings such as rivets, bolts, and screws.

Key information:

• Width – 100mm
• Thickness – 10mm
• Shape – Flat
• Grade –S275
• Finish – Mill

With its low strength, good machinability, and weldability S275 is an excellent low carbon steel specification.

10mm flat bar steel is also known as Metric Flat, Mild Steel Flat Bar, Metric Mild Steel Flat and Steel Strip.

Mild steel flat metal strips are available in a wide range of sizes from Speciality Metals. We feel that this steel strip compliments our enormous range of mesh and other metals for use across the construction industry.

Mild plain steel flat bars offers very little corrosion resistance. Mild steel is a quality strong metal. However it is not rust proof and may do so over time. Please use galvanised or stainless steel if you need resistance to rust. If the product does show signs off rust then simply get this off with WD40 or fine sanding.

Mild steel is magnetic.

Please handle with care when using this product as there may be sharp edges from the cutting process.

We also carry a wide range of mild steel sheet metal, angle iron and round tube.

What Is Hot Rolled Steel?

Hot rolled steel is easier to produce. It is simpler to shape and form. It’s production is a basic mill process wherein the steel is rolled at high temperature. It begins as a piece of still billet which is then heat treated up to 1700 degrees Fahrenheit (926° Celsius) in a blast furnace. The piece of steel is then rolled through the mill into the desired shape. The entire heat treatment process is carried out at very high temperatures.

Hot rolled steel is produced and recommended for applications where precision is not essential and tolerances are flexible.

The main advantages of hot rolled us that it is easier to produce and as a consequence it is cheaper in cost than cold rolled steel plate.

The disadvantages of steel produced using the hot rolled method is that dimensional imperfections can occur. These are caused by the heating (expanding) and the subsequent cooling down (shrink, warpage). Hot rolled steel can have a rougher surface texture, which can be easily buffed out.
