Flat bar and flat iron are common metal products.
Flat steel is a long strip of metal material, rectangular or oval cross-section, thickness is relatively thin, width between 12mm to 300mm, thickness between 4mm to 60mm; Flat iron is also a long strip of metal material, rectangular or oval cross-section, thickness is relatively thick, width width in less than or equal to 200mm, thickness between 0.2mm to 12mm.
Flat steel and flat iron are made of different materials.
Flat steel bar material is generally carbon structural steel, alloy structural steel or cemented carbide and other materials, high strength, high hardness, usually used in machinery manufacturing, construction engineering and other industries; Flat iron material is generally ordinary steel or stainless steel and other materials, good toughness, easy to process, mainly used in the manufacture of furniture, home furnishings, and so on.
The manufacturing process of flat steel is mostly hot rolled, and there are also cold rolled manufacturing processes; while the manufacturing process of flat iron is generally cold rolled.
Due to the different uses, flat steel and flat iron have different surface treatments.
When flat steel does surface treatment, it is usually galvanized and painted to enhance its corrosion and rust resistance; while flat iron will be polished, sprayed and other surface treatment methods to enhance its decorative and aesthetic appearance.
Flat steel and flat iron have different uses.
Flat steel is mainly used in machinery manufacturing, construction engineering and other fields, such as the manufacture of steel structures, power towers, ships, automobiles, mechanical equipment, etc., while flat iron is mainly used in the production of furniture, home décor and other consumer goods, such as the production of beds, tables and chairs, iron flower racks and so on.
To summarize, flat steel and flat iron are both flat metal materials, but they differ in terms of raw materials, manufacturing processes and uses. When choosing the right material, you should choose the one that meets the specific needs of use.
