What is galvanised mild steel flat bar and what is it used for?
In addition to our range of mild steel flat bars and strips, we also stock galvanised flat bar for increased resistance to corrosion.
Our galvanised flat bar section is produced from S275JR grade steel, which has good corrosion resistance and excellent formability.
All flat bars will have an M6 hole, necessary to dip the length in the galvanisation process tank.
FAQs

What sizes of galvanised steel flat bars are available?
Galvanised steel flat bar come in a range of sizes to suit a variety of applications. At metals4U, we offer flat bar in widths of 25mm to 100mm, thicknesses of 3mm or 6mm, and lengths up to 6000mm, ensuring you can find the ideal option for your project. For added convenience, our custom-cutting service allows you to purchase flat bar tailored to the exact length you need, reducing waste and saving time. To maintain the protective coating after cutting, the ends will need to be sealed with a protective coating such as galvanised spray to help ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance.

What are the common uses of galvanised steel flat bars?
Galvanised steel flat bar is incredibly versatile and widely used across numerous industries. Its corrosion resistance and strength make it suitable for construction projects, fabrication, and structural reinforcements. Galvanised bar is commonly employed in frameworks, bracing, outdoor fixtures, and creating decorative metalwork. The zinc coating provides lasting protection, ensuring durability even in moisture-prone or weather-exposed environments.
-
How long will galvanised steel last before it rusts?
Galvanised steel is designed to resist rust for decades, and its lifespan depends on the environment in which it is used. In moderate conditions, it can last 50 years or more without significant corrosion. In harsher environments, such as those with high humidity or exposure to saltwater, its lifespan may be reduced but can still exceed 20–30 years. Proper maintenance and care can further enhance its longevity.

How long will galvanised steel last before it rusts?
Galvanised flat bar is a steel flat bar coated with a protective layer of zinc through the hot dipped galvanisation process. This coating significantly enhances the bar's resistance to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor and industrial applications. In contrast, regular steel lacks this protective layer, making it more susceptible to rust and requiring additional treatment or maintenance in environments where corrosion is a concern.
