Carbon Steel Bar Stock is commonly used in a variety of industrial applications. These include machine components, shafts, pins, gears, and general fabrication.
Carbon Steel Bar Stock is composed primarily of iron with varying amounts of carbon added to enhance its strength and hardness properties. The amount of carbon present determines the specific properties and applications of the bar stock.
Carbon Steel Bar Stock is available in a range of grades, each with specific characteristics. Common grades include 1018, 1045, and 1144, varying in carbon content and mechanical properties such as strength, machinability, and weldability.
Carbon Steel Bar Stock undergoes various finishing processes to achieve different surface qualities and tolerances. These finishes can range from hot-rolled (HR) and cold-finished (CF) to ground and polished (GP) surfaces, each providing unique characteristics for specific applications.
