Steel Allied Products » Stuctural Steel » Flats

Flats are actually thin strips of mild steel having the thickness of the strip commonly varying from 12mm to 10mm but thicker flats than this are also available. Steel flats are produced by the utilization of relatively smooth, cylindrical rolls on rolling mills. Generally the width to thickness ratio of flat rolled products is fairly large. The steel flat bars are manufactured using advanced thickness control technology for controlled thicknesses. The hi-tech machineries enables the production of top grade steel flat bars with superlative flatness and controlled thickness. This product is highly customized and the specific sizes according to the client's requirement is produced. After production the flat steels are subjected to a variety of finishes like, painting and galvanizing. The flat carbon steel is a hot or cold rolled strip product also known as a plate product. These plate products have a size variation between 10mm to 200mm and the thin flat rolled flat rolled product's size varies from 1 mm to 10 mm.

Applications
The steel flats are used in a wide array of applications. The varied applications are listed below:

• Railway parts
• Ordinance factories
• Hand tools
• Engineering industries
• Auto components- twowheeler, fourwheeler, commercial vehicles
• Domestic white goods products
• Office furnitures
• Heart pacemakers
• Tin cans
• Pressworking

Packaging of steel flats:
The packaging of steel products hold a very vital position. It is very important that the steel products are packed properly to be transported to different destinations. This is so because any lopse ended packaging leads to the hampering of the flat steel. Special arrangements are made in order to pack steel flats. The material is tied with metal strips to wooden logs wrapped with polythene and HDPE sheets. There are special arrangements that are made for exporting like, seaworthy and moisture proof metal packing is done for safe and proper transit. Along with the polythene and HDPE sheets coils are also provided for necessary edge protection.
