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.
