Our stainless steel flat bar products are divided into two primary groups – true flat bar and sheared and edged.
What is Flat Bar Steel?
A true flat bar is usually in the HRAP condition though it may sometimes be cold drawn. This bar has fairly sharp corners and tighter tolerances on thickness and width than sheared and edged and is often used by fabricators where the finished project is polished. Sheared and edged material is cut from plate, and then put through a process which straightens the bars and cleans up the edges. This is a much more cost-effective way to buy a flat bar when corner sharpness and tolerances aren’t critical. The standard lengths of a true bar are 12’-14’ random lengths, while sheared and edged bars typically come in 12′ dead lengths.
