Types of Carbon Steel Bars

Round steel refers to long solid steel with circular section. Its specifications are expressed in diameter, in millimeters. Carbon steel can be divided into low carbon steel, medium carbon steel and high carbon steel according to chemical composition. Carbon Steel Round Bar are a good choice in general assembly and manufacturing units. A CS hex bar is a 6 sided grade designed with a hexagonal cross section. These bars have good mobility and can be easily moved through tough spots. Aesteiron Steel is actively manufacturing steel products worldwide.

Similar to pipes, bars and rods are also manufactured using various metals and alloys. They have separate properties depending upon the element used in them. Low temperature Carbon Steel rectangular bar is one such bar that is ductile and malleable when compared to high temperature carbon bars. They provide great strength and hardness levels. Carbon Steel round bar manufacturers recommend these bars due to their anti-corrosion properties, resistance, and durability. They also display excellent ductility and workability along with higher tensile and yield strength. The carbon steel flat bar also displays excellent formability and weldability.

Medium Carbon steel is carbon steel with carbon content of 0.25% ~ 0.60%. There are killed steel, semi killed steel, boiling steel and other products. In addition to carbon, it can also contain a small amount of manganese. The strength and hardness are higher than those of low carbon steel, while the plasticity and toughness are lower than those of low carbon steel. Hot rolled and cold drawn materials can be directly used without heat treatment, and can also be used after heat treatment. Medium carbon steel is the most widely used in various applications with medium strength level. In addition to being used as building materials, it is also widely used to manufacture various mechanical parts.

Carbon steel hollow bars are widely used in shipbuilding, metallurgical industry, heat exchangers, power plants, petrochemicals, and the aerospace industry. Apart from this carbon steel square bars are also used in metallurgical machinery, wind power, and the auto power sector. They are said to be affordable and low maintenance rods. Carbon steel hex bars are hence said to be cost saving and economical. The oil and gas industry is said to be the primary consumer of this bar. Hot rolled Carbon Steel Round Bar are constructed with thick cross section walls, this helps in high velocity transportation of oil and gas.
