Advantages of Open-Die Forged Steel Flat Bar

Open-die forged flat bar offers greater strength, durability, and performance compared to standard plate or bar stock. This forging process refines the material's grain structure, resulting in improved mechanical properties and better resistance to impact and fatigue. It also provides greater flexibility in size and shape, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring custom dimensions or higher load-bearing capabilities. Primary benefits of open-die forged flat bar include:

  • Available in dimensions not offered in standard plate or bar stock
