Bar Forms for Machining & Fabrication

  • Round Bars

    Used for shafts, pins, fasteners, and machined components. Bright-drawn rounds support dimensional accuracy; hot-rolled rounds are suitable for further processing.

  • Hex Bars

    Common for fasteners, valve parts, and turned components. Surface conditioning and documentation options can be aligned to medical or marine purchasing requirements.

  • Square Bars

    Used for structural parts, fixtures, and OEM components where section stability matters. Higher-strength families are often specified for chloride exposure and load-bearing needs.

FAQs

Which bar options suit marine or chloride exposure?
For chloride service, molybdenum-alloyed and duplex families are commonly specified. Selection depends on chloride level, temperature, and required safety margin; higher-alloy options may be used for acidic media.
Can bars be cut to custom length?
Yes. Standard tolerance is ±3–5 mm, tighter on request for small diameters.
What surface finishes are available?
Hot-rolled black, cold-drawn bright, polished Ra≤0.8 μm, passivated, and electropolished.
Do you provide certificates?
Each order includes an MTC and ISO 9001 compliance; third-party inspections are available.
What's the difference between 410 and 420J2 bars?
410 offers good machinability with moderate hardness; 420J2 reaches HRC 50–55 for cutting tools and wear parts.
