Flat Bars for industrial supply

Rectangular solid sections for fabrication. Metalex can discuss grade, form, finish, dimensional tolerances, documentation and packing with your procurement team. Confirm stock and delivery against your purchase specification.

Grades to ask about

Material grades are confirmed for the precise product and service. State the required standard and grade when enquiring.

Ordering checklist

State the grade and material standard, precise dimensions and tolerances, surface finish, quantity, certificate and delivery destination. Size range and stock are confirmed against the current enquiry; no fixed inventory is implied. For safety-critical, pressure or corrosive service, include the design code and inspection requirements so the right item can be checked.

Catalogue reference: Rods & bars

The catalogue includes rectangular bars within its 6–350 mm rod/bar range and 100 mm–6 m lengths, but does not give a separate width-by-thickness range for flat bars. Specify both section dimensions and actual cut length.

Stainless examples: 304/304L, 316/316L, 904L, 17-4 PH; duplex S31803/S32205 and super duplex S32750/S32760. Other carbon, alloy, nickel, copper-nickel and titanium families are also listed.

Metalex catalogue (2022) describes a product range, not real-time stock or a test certificate. Confirm grade, dimensions and documentation for your enquiry.

Specification overview

Detail	Options to specify
Solid flat-bar section	Rectangular stainless bar, not plate, pipe or hollow tube; specify material standard and grade.
Grade range	304/304L · 316/316L · Duplex 2205 and other grades on request; confirm availability
Section dimensions	Width × thickness × cut length; specify tolerances and straightness.
Surface / ends	Mill, ground or polished finish on request; specify edge and cut-end requirements.
Documentation	Ask which certificate and heat or batch traceability documents are available for the specific material offered.

Choose the right specification

Send the product type, applicable standard, grade or material, section dimensions, quantity, inspection requirements and destination. We will confirm what can be sourced for the exact enquiry.

Surface / ends: Mill, ground or polished finish on request; specify edge and cut-end requirements. Material and dimensional standards, tests and certificate type should be agreed for this product before ordering.

Grade selection at a glance

Grade	Typical selection reason	Check before ordering
304 / 304L	General fabrication and mild process environments	Welded assemblies: verify L-grade certification
316 / 316L	Added molybdenum for improved pitting resistance in many chloride environments	Assess chloride concentration, temperature and crevices
Duplex 2205	Higher yield strength and better chloride SCC resistance than common austenitic grades	Confirm UNS S32205 or S31803 and welding procedure

Bar ordering details

Specify solid section diameter or thickness × width, cut length, straightness and tolerances, grade, heat-treatment condition and surface finish. Confirm whether your job needs machining, welding or structural use and request a matching mill test certificate.
