Stainless Steel Flat Bar - Cut to Size

Grade 316 is an austenitic grade of stainless steel bar is referred to as 'marine grade'. It has good machining properties combined with excellent corrosion resistance.

Grade 304 is the most versatile and widely used stainless steel. It is still sometimes referred to by its old name 18/8 which is derived from the nominal composition of type 304 being 18% chromium and 8% nickel.

The Stainless Steel Flat Bars are available to order in the following thicknesses:

• 3.00mm
• 5.00mm
• 6.00mm
• 8.00mm
• 10.00mm
• 12.00mm
• 15.00mm
• 20.00mm
• 25.00mm

Typical Uses for Stainless Steel Bars:

• Construction and Architecture: Stainless steel flat bars are used in construction for structural framing, support beams, and architectural features. They are often used in facades, curtain walls, and decorative elements due to their corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
• Manufacturing and Industrial Equipment: These bars are used in the construction of machinery, equipment frames, and conveyor systems in manufacturing and industrial settings due to their durability and resistance to corrosion.
• Transportation: Stainless steel flat bars are used in the automotive and aerospace industries for components such as chassis parts, body panels, and aircraft structural elements. They provide strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
• Marine and Nautical Applications: Stainless steel's exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion makes it ideal for use in the construction of boats, ships, marine equipment, and offshore structures.
• Electrical and Electronics: Stainless steel flat bars serve as electrical conductors and are used in the construction of busbars, grounding equipment, and electrical enclosures.
• Food Processing and Pharmaceuticals: Stainless steel's hygienic properties and resistance to corrosion make it a common choice for equipment and machinery in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries, including conveyor systems and storage.
• Architectural Trim and Moulding: They are used for architectural detailing, such as baseboards, trims, and decorative accents in buildings, due to their corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
• Furniture and Decor: Stainless steel flat bars are used in the construction of furniture frames, particularly for outdoor furniture, due to their corrosion resistance and modern appearance.
• DIY and Home Improvement: DIY enthusiasts often use stainless steel flat bars for various projects, including shelving, frames, and home renovations, due to their durability and ease of maintenance.
• HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning): These bars are used in HVAC systems for duct supports, air handling units, and other equipment components due to their resistance to corrosion and ability to withstand temperature variations.
• Retail and Display: Stainless steel flat bars are used to create display racks, store fixtures, and shelving systems in retail stores and commercial spaces, providing a sleek and modern look.
• Safety and Security: They are used in the construction of safety barriers, handrails, guardrails, and security gates in various settings, including stairs, walkways, and platforms.
• Awnings and Canopies: Stainless steel flat bars are employed in the construction of awnings, canopies, and shade structures due to their corrosion resistance and strength.
• Custom Fabrication: Stainless steel flat bars are favored by metal fabricators for creating custom components, brackets, and frames for a wide range of applications.
