Uses of flat steel

Flat steel refers to steel with a width of 12-300mm, a thickness of 3-60mm, a rectangular cross-section, and slightly blunt edges. Flat steel can be finished steel or used as blanks for welded pipes and sheets for stacked plates.
The main uses are as follows:
1.Architecture and Structural Engineering
Building frame: Flat steel is used to make the frame and supporting structures of buildings, such as beams, columns, etc., providing strength and stability.
Bridge construction: In the truss structure of the bridge, flat steel serves as the main load-bearing component to ensure the safety and durability of the bridge.
Steel structure factory building: used for the construction of steel structure factory buildings, especially the skeleton and support structures of large factories.
Stairs and Platforms: Treads and platforms used to make stairs due to their flatness and strength.
2.Manufacturing
Machinery manufacturing: used to manufacture components of various mechanical equipment, such as machine tool beds, mechanical guide rails, industrial equipment brackets, etc.
Automobile manufacturing: used in automobile chassis, body structural parts, etc. to improve the overall strength and durability of the vehicle.
Home appliance manufacturing: used in the manufacturing of home appliance casings and internal structural parts, such as refrigerators, washing machines and other products.
3. Engineering and Infrastructure
Shipbuilding: Used in the frame structure and deck of ship hulls to provide resistance to corrosion and pressure.
Railway construction: Structural parts used for rails, sleepers and bridges to improve the safety and stability of railway systems.
Electric power engineering: used in power transmission towers, transformer casings and other equipment to ensure reliable operation of the power system.
4.Other uses
Decoration and home furnishing: used to make decorative and functional parts such as furniture, guardrails, doors and windows, with beautiful and practical characteristics.
Agriculture and horticulture: Used in the manufacture of agricultural machinery, greenhouse frames, irrigation equipment, etc. to enhance the durability and service life of equipment.
Mining and chemical industry: used in mining equipment, chemical pipelines, etc. Because of its anti-corrosion and high strength properties, it can adapt to harsh environments.
Due to its diverse sizes and specifications, flat steel can be customized and processed according to specific needs and is widely used in various industries. This makes flat steel an indispensable basic material.
