These products, often made from various materials such as mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum, offer a variety of applications in the construction, engineering and manufacturing industries.

Overview and features

Flat bars are characterized by their rectangular cross-sectional shape and are available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses. Standard dimensions typically vary between 10mm x 3mm and 100mm x 50mm, with individual adjustments possible depending on your needs. These products are typically supplied in lengths of 3,000 to 6,000 mm, although special lengths are also available upon request

Variety of materials

Flat bars can be made of various materials including:

  • Structural steel, (z.B. S235JR, S355J2, ): Ideal for structural applications due to their good Strength and good weldability

  • Stainless steel (e.g. 1.4301, 1.4404): Offers depending on the intended use excellent corrosion resistance and is often used in hygienically sensitive areas such as the food industry

  • Aluminum (z.B. EN AW-5083): Known for its lightness and corrosion resistance, ideal for transportation and aviation applications (EN AW-7075).

Areas of application

Flat bars are used in a variety of industries:

  • Construction industry: Used in beams, reinforcements and supporting structures.
