Angles are a 90 degree angle bar. Angles come in two coating finishes; black, which is a mill finish and galvanised, which is an inline galvanised product. Common uses include bed frames, box trailers, high voltage power poles and many more applications.

Black angles can be supplied from 20mm x 20mm through to 200mm x 200mm and thicknesses of 3mm through to 26mm. Galvanised (DuraGal®) angles can be supplied from 30mm x 30mm through to 90mm x 90mm and thicknesses of 2.5mm through to 8mm.

Flat steel bar available in two finishes black and a range of galvanised sizes. Common uses of the product are steel balustrades, connector plates and purlin cleats.

Black flats can be supplied in a range of 20mm x 3mm, through to 300mm x 25mm. Some sizes are slit from plate. Extra small flats are in a range from 10mm x 3mm through to 16mm x 5mm and are only available in 4 metre lengths. Galvanised (DuraGal®) flats can be supplied in a range of 50mm x 4mm through to 150mm x 8mm.

Pipe products satisfy Standards for low pressure reticulation / piping, general mechanical and structural applications. For a specific outside diametre these sections have a larger wall thickness than CHS in the Structural Products range. However, the Pipe product range is of a lower strength grade to Structural CHS. Pipe products are versatile and easy to use for general, mechanical, low pressure piping and structural applications.

Standardised diameters and thicknesses for the Pipe product range permit industry accepted connections to be readily used in fluid conveyancing applications. The larger wall thickness of Pipe products also helps to provide extended service life in heavy fluid and wear applications such as that encountered in mining operations, slurry and concrete pumping. Coupled with a galvanized coating, the large wall thickness can greatly assist in improving the Pipe’s corrosion resistance in some water reticulation applications.Due to the larger cross-sectional areas available for Pipe products, these sections are also commonly used in structural applications.

Following the introduction of CHS, RHS have also become very popular in many forms of construction and other structural & mechanical applications. This has been greatly assisted by the section’s inherent flat surfaces making it more economical for joining and other fabrication processes. In this instance, and unlike CHS, the sections only need to be straight-cut (when joining to other flat surfaces) instead of profile cut (e.g. when preparing a CHS end or when joining to curved surfaces). Minimal edge preparation is required for joining and welding RHS.
Like CHS, RHS can be used for architectural aesthetics, possessing clean lines, it is functional, and interacts less with external environmental effects.

Round bar is a circular solid steel section. It can be used in many and varied applications such as tent pins, earth stakes, axles etc. Sizes available from Metalcorp Steel range from 6mm through to 100mm in diameter.

In terms of its appearance and structural behaviour, the popular SHS is positioned somewhere between a CHS and RHS. The “equal-sided” symmetry of SHS tends to exhibit some of the aesthetic aspects of CHS yet still possess the inherent flat surfaces of RHS for better connectivity. When a balance is required between strength and functionality, SHS are commonly used in many structural and mechanical applications.
