Mild Steel Square Bar 12.7mm (1/2") Bright Mill Finish EN3B - 1.28kg/M Excellent Weldability & Machinability, Poor Corrosion Resistance - Linear Metre

This mild steel square bright bar is characterized by its square shape and dimensions, suitable for various industrial applications where excellent weldability, formability, and machinability are required. However, it possesses poor corrosion resistance, so it might not be suitable for applications exposed to corrosive environments without proper protective measures. The mill finish indicates that the surface has been left untreated after the manufacturing process.

• Material: Mild Steel is a versatile and commonly used form of steel with low carbon content, offering a good balance of strength and ductility.

• Dimensions:  12.7mm, referring to the height, thickness, and width of the square bar along with 1/2" size imperial of square bar, making it suitable for precision applications and small-scale constructions.

• Formability: Rated as excellent, meaning the material can be easily bent, shaped, and formed without cracking, ideal for various fabrication processes.

• Weldability: Rated as excellent, indicating that the material can be readily welded using standard welding techniques, ensuring strong and durable joints.

• Machinability: Rated as excellent, signifying that the material can be easily machined to precise dimensions and finishes, making it suitable for manufacturing intricate components.

• Corrosion Resistance: Rated as poor, suggesting that the material is prone to rust and corrosion if not adequately protected. This requires the application of protective coatings or regular maintenance in corrosive environments.

• Finish: The standard finish resulting from the manufacturing process, typically rough and requiring further treatment or machining for a polished surface.

• Weight: With a weight per metre of 1.28 kg, the square bar is lightweight and manageable, making it easy to handle in various applications.
