Buying Tips

  • Specify the exact width × thickness × length — “شريط مسطح” without dimensions is ambiguous.
  • Ask for black, bright or peeled surface depending on whether you will machine or paint it.
  • For machined parts, specify tolerance (h11 or tighter) and confirm mill test certificate.
  • Outdoor use: galvanize or specify stainless.
