Round Bar

Round bars are metal bars with a round base.  ssmsteel stocks round bar diameters ranging from 1/16” inch to 5 ½” inches. They come in a number of metals, including aluminum, titanium, stainless steel alloys, and more.

What is Round Bars?

A steel round bar is a cylindrical solid metal bar made from steel. It is usually produced from hot-rolled or cold-finished steel and is commonly used in various industries such as construction, manufacturing, and engineering.

Steel round bars are available in different grades, sizes, and lengths, and they are used for various purposes such as structural support, machining, and fabrication. They can be easily cut, drilled, and welded, making them versatile and useful for a wide range of applications.

Steel round bars are commonly used in the construction industry to provide support and reinforcement for concrete structures. They are also used in manufacturing to make parts and components for machinery and equipment. Additionally, they are used in the production of tools, fasteners, and other hardware components.

Types of Round Bars

Here are some of the most common types of round bars:

1. Carbon Steel Round Bar: These are made of carbon steel and are used in general engineering and manufacturing applications.

2. Alloy Steel Round Bar: These are made of various alloy steels such as nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, and are used in applications where high strength, toughness, and resistance to corrosion and wear are required.

3. Stainless Steel Round Bar: These are made of stainless steel and are known for their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and durability. They are used in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction.

4. Tool Steel Round Bar: These are made of high-speed steel and are used for cutting, drilling, and shaping applications in the manufacturing industry.

5. Brass Round Bar: These are made of brass and are used in decorative and ornamental applications, as well as in the manufacture of electrical and plumbing components.

6. Copper Round Bar: These are made of copper and are used in electrical and plumbing applications, as well as in the manufacture of machinery components.

7. Aluminum Round Bar: These are made of aluminum and are used in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing applications due to their lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance.

Round Bars Specifications

Round bars are commonly used in various industries for their strength, durability, and versatility. The specifications of round bars can vary depending on the intended use and the material used to manufacture them. Here are some common specifications for round bars:

1. Diameter: The diameter of round bars can range from 1/4 inch to over 20 inches.

2. Length: Round bars are typically sold in lengths of 12 feet, but can also be custom cut to shorter lengths as needed.

3. Material: Round bars can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and titanium.

4. Tolerance: The tolerance, or deviation from the specified dimensions, can vary depending on the manufacturing process and material. For example, hot-rolled steel round bars may have a larger tolerance than cold-drawn steel round bars.

5. Finish: Round bars can have various finishes depending on the intended use, such as polished, rough, or coated.

6. Grade: The grade of a round bar refers to its strength and chemical composition, which can vary depending on the material and intended use.

7. Standards: Round bars can be manufactured to meet various standards, such as ASTM, AISI, DIN, JIS, and EN, among others.

It's important to note that the specific specifications for round bars can vary depending on the manufacturer and the intended use, so it's always important to check with the manufacturer or supplier for the exact specifications of the round bar you need.
