Superior Steel Supply inventories, distributes and saw cuts a wide range of carbon flat bars. Carbon flat bars typically range from as small as ¼” x 1” to as large as 1” x 12” and primarily come in 20’ lengths. 9”, 10” and 12” wide flat bars are also commonly referred to Universal Mill Plate or UM Plate. Superior Steel Supply can saw cut your flat bar requirements down to size with our inhouse saw service.
Flat bars produced domestically are primarily done by the use of Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) that use 95%+ post-consumer recycled scrap.
Flat bars are mild steel and may be produced from the mill that could meet multiple grade specifications simultaneously including ASTM A36, ASTM A529 grade 50, CSA 44W and CSW 44W50.
ASTM is the American Society for Testing and Materials
CSW is the Canadian Standards Association
Flat bars are generally used in the wide array of steel applications including manufacturing, construction, infrastructure, architectural, machinery, trailers, storage, fabrication and MRO (maintenance, repair and operational).
Flat bars are a popular selection for use in the above applications as they are commonly saw cut, drilled, laser cut, formed, welded and can be industrially coated.
