What is flat steel?
Flat steel is a widely used raw material in the market, sometimes referred to as flat bars.
This product has a rectangular cross-section, with a width range of 12–300mm and a thickness of 4–60mm.
It can be processed into hoop iron, tools and mechanical parts, and also serves as a core material for frame structures and escalators in construction projects. When applied as crane rails, it is specifically named crane rail flat bar—the most specialized form of flat steel for heavy-duty applications.

Applications of Hot-rolled Flat steel
- Its hot-rolled variant can be fabricated into components, escalators, bridges, and fences. This material delivers excellent strength and a smoother surface finish than most alternative steels. In addition, its tightly controlled thickness tolerance makes it highly suitable for welding processes. What deserves special mention is its superior load-bearing capacity. Welding is an indispensable step in manufacturing components, escalators, and fences, and such products inherently require smooth surfaces and reliable load-bearing performance—all characteristics that this variant perfectly delivers.
- The hot-rolled type can also be used as welded billets and slabs for laminated steel sheets. With its rectangular cross-section, it can be regarded as a narrow, elongated segment of steel plate, which enables it to be further processed into large-sized steel plates.
