Hot Rolled Flat Bar Halesowen
At Harris Steels, right here in Halesowen, we supply high-quality hot rolled flat bars near Halesowen. Also known as long products, re-rolled, or merchant bar, these low-carbon, cost-effective steel sections are ideal for construction, fabrication, engineering, and manufacturing projects. With a maximum carbon content of 0.22% and a minimum yield of 275 N/mm², our hot rolled flat bars are easy to form, machine, and fabricate without specialist tools or heat treatments. They are suitable for both small workshops and large industrial applications.
Surface Finish and Protection
We supply each hot rolled flat bar in its natural blue-grey finish in the as rolled (AR) state. Surface scale can be removed by pickling and oiling (P&O), shot blasting, or other abrasive methods. The scale also provides limited corrosion resistance during mild conditions, though condensation may cause some rust discolouration.
Production Process
Hot rolled flat bars near Halesowen are produced to strict specifications. Billets or blooms are heated to around 1200°C, then passed through roughing, intermediate, and finishing rollers to achieve the required section and dimensions. Controlled cooling after finishing—around 900°C—is essential to the steel’s performance and mechanical properties.
