Steel flat bars are generally not resistant to UV radiation. UV radiation can cause the steel to undergo a process called oxidation, which leads to the formation of rust. Rust weakens the structural integrity of the steel and can lead to structural failure over time. To protect steel flat bars from UV radiation, they can be coated with a protective layer such as paint or a UV-resistant coating. This helps to prevent direct exposure of the steel to UV radiation and extends its lifespan.
No, steel flat bars are not inherently resistant to UV radiation. However, their resistance to UV radiation can be improved by applying protective coatings or treatments such as painting, galvanizing, or powder coating.
