Also known as stainless steel rod, the bar is made of stainless steel. Depending on the application and the grade of material, bars and rods can be used for a variety of purposes. A variety of specifications specify both the application type and the type of production. 

There are a variety of products made from stainless steel materials, including stainless steel round bars. It is possible to find stainless steels in different grades depending on the industry. The strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel bars make them ideal for use in a variety of applications. Chromium is present in all stainless stBoth the composition and the content of chromium can vary. The higher the chromium content, the higher the corrosion resistance.

Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Round Bar

As the name implies, hot rolling involves rolling the steel above the temperature of recrystallization. In order to become a hot rolled finished steel product, the steel is normalized and cooled at room temperature. When diameter tolerances and surface finishes are not strictly enforced, hot rolled bars are more cost-effective than cold finished bars. Forgings and machining of hot rolled bars are widely used in numerous applications, such as fasteners, bolts, connecting rods, hydraulics, fittings, gear blanks, shafts, hubs, and pistons.

Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Round Bar

Cold-rolled steel is generally hot-rolled steel that has been processed further. Many steel-forming processes are associated with rolling, including polishing, grinding, and turning. When stainless steel bar stock is compressed, it is referred to as “cold rolled”.

Steel that has been cold-rolled requires an extra step after being heated to an extreme temperature and cooled. After cooling and re-rolling at ambient temperature, steel is re-rolled in cold reduction mills by either braking or rolling. By using this procedure, steel round rods, stainless steel bar stock, or brass round stock can be formed into the required shape, ss size chart, round size, bar diameter, rod size for die chart and steel rod size chart.

The Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Round Bar has a higher absolute roughness than the Drawn Stainless Steel Round Bar. If the bars are used only for their strength and corrosion resistance, this is not an issue. Cold Drawn Stainless Steel Round Bars are preferred in aesthetic applications and outdoor fixtures because they have a smooth surface and less absolute roughness. The bars can also vary in 12mm ss rod sizes.
