Merchant
Produced from hot rolled, cold rolled, galvanized, or cold drawn steel, merchant bar quality (MBQ) is a class of long, semi-finished steel products, among them rounds, angles, channels, and flats, that receive no additional processing after production. In addition, the chemical ranges in the products stay within industry standards. Steel fabricators use our MBQ in structural and construction applications while original equipment manufacturers use them to produce utility trailers, agricultural equipment, material-handling equipment, specialized transportation, and manufacturing equipment.
The 90-degree angle of this "L"-shaped merchant provides its strength. Available in smaller sizes from 1.5" to 4" and larger sizes from 5" to 8".
Also known as parallel flange channel (PFC) or C-channel, structural channel has a distinctive "C" shape. Available in sizes ranging from 3" to 15".
Easy to cut, drill, and weld, flats are versatile components in construction, infrastructure, agriculture, transportation, and storage. Available in widths from 1" to 12" and up to 3" in thickness.
Round bars are often used to make parts for rotating machinery. Available in standard lengths and varying grades in diameters ranging from .625" to 9".
High-strength carbon and alloy steel bars for forging steel parts. Available in widths ranging from 2.5" to 8".
Long, solid blocks of steel with a square sectional area, square bars derive their strength from their shape. Available in widths from .5" to .625".
Easy to cut, drill, and weld, strips are versatile components in construction, infrastructure, agriculture, transportation, and storage. Available in 3/16" thickness and widths from 1" to 4".
Miscellaneous channels (MC-channels), or junior channels, often serve as structural support in tractor-trailer manufacturing. Available in sizes from 3" to 12".
