Square Edge Flats are solid flat-surface steel sections with a rectangular cross-section area that can be cut, drilled and formed. Available in various grades and in a wide variety of sizes, Square Edge Flats are commonly used in engineering, residential and non-residential construction, manufacturing, transport, storage and mining infrastructure. Southern Steel Cash & Carry’s range of Square Edge Flats are manufactured in Australia from 300PLUS steel and exceed the minimum requirements of AS/NZS 3679.1.

Square Mild Steel bars are a durable, solid steel bar which are available in different sizes making them very versatile. Square Mild Steel bars are very easy to weld and are strong and rigid being able to withstand a range of weather conditions. They are often used for reinforcements, fences, gates, security doors, windows and door trims as well as other ornate architectural and balustrade applications. Manufactured in Australia from Grade 300PLUS Steel, Southern Steel Cash & Carry’s Square Mild Steel bars meet the relevant Australian and New Zealand standards of AS/NZS 3679.1:2016.

Steel Billets are hot rolled square bars produced by hot rolling continuous casting billets. Billets can be transformed into a variety of shapes and sizes after the processing stage and are often rectangular, circular or square shaped. Steel Billets are used in expulsion, fashioning, rolling, and other metal-processing operations such as a raw material or feedstock. Southern Steel Cash & Carry’s Billets are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of Australian Standard AS 1442/1022-1045.

Round Mild Steel bars are characterised by their round or circular cross section. Round Mild Steel has a smaller carbon quality than other types of steel making it easier to cut, form, drill and machined. Round Mild steel bars are often used as reinforcement and can be used in a wide variety of industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Manufactured in Australia from 300PLUS steel, Southern Steel Cash & Carry’s Round Mild Steel bar meets the relevant Australian and New Zealand standards of AS/NZS 3679.1 – 300.

Steel Angles are the most basic type of roll-formed steel and are formed by bending a single angle in a piece of steel, creating a ‘L’ shaped product. Equal Angles have two axes of the same length (equal) that create a 90-degree angle. Equal Angles are multi-purposed and are often used for reinforcement, framing, trims and brackets. They can be cut to any size and can be made in a range of strengths and thicknesses. The larger the steel angle, the more weight and stress it can bear. Equal Angles are manufactured in accordance to AS/NZS 3679.1.

Where the Equal Angle has two axes of the same length, Unequal Angles have two axes of different lengths (unequal) that create a 90-degree angle. When you look at them, the cross section has the same shape as an upper case ‘L’. Unequal Angles are often used in bridge building, reinforcements, framing and brackets and can be made in a range of thicknesses and strengths and can be cut to any size. Unequal Angles are manufactured in accordance to AS/NZS 3679.1.

Parallel Flange Channels (PFC) are hot-rolled carbon steel channels sometimes referred to as ‘C’ sections or ‘C’ channel beams due to their shape. Constructed using a vertical web and top and bottom horizontal flanges with inside radius corners, the shape provides superior structural support, making Parallel Flange Channels an ideal product for frames and braces used for machinery, enclosures, vehicles, truss support beams, floor beams and portal frames. PFC’s are available in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses.

Tapered Flange Beams are similar to the “I” shape of Universal Beams, however they have tapered flanges – the two horizontal sections (flanges) taper, normally to a 98-degree angle from the web. Tapered Flange Beams are strong as the flanges provide resistance to bending and used regularly for support in residential and commercial construction projects as well as in industrial applications where maximal strength is paramount. Southern Steel Cash & Carry stocks a range of Tapered Flange Beams in a variety of sizes and lengths which are manufactured in Australia from 300PLUS steel and exceed the minimum requirements of AS/NZS 3679.1
