Mild Steel Bar
Mild steel bars are long, solid metal rods made from mild steel. They are widely used in various construction, manufacturing, and engineering applications due to their strength, versatility, and ease of fabrication.
Specifications:
- Diameter: For round bars, diameters typically range from 6 mm to 50 mm. For flat bars, standard widths range from 25 mm to 200 mm, and thicknesses range from 3 mm to 25 mm. Custom sizes can be produced based on specific requirements.
- Length: Standard lengths are usually 6 meters or 12 meters, but custom lengths can be ordered based on project needs.
- Common Grades: Includes ASTM A36, ASTM A105, SAE 1018, and EN 10025 S275. Each grade offers different mechanical properties and standards suited for various applications.
- Hot-Rolled: Provides a rough surface finish, often used for structural applications.
- Cold-Rolled: Offers a smoother surface finish and tighter dimensional tolerances, suitable for precision applications.
- Galvanized: Coated with zinc to enhance corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments.
Applications:
- Construction: Used in structural applications, including reinforcement bars in concrete, support structures, and framework for buildings and bridges.
- Manufacturing: Employed in the production of machinery components, tools, and various fabricated products.
- Automotive: Utilized in the manufacturing of vehicle parts such as shafts, axles, and suspension components.
- Industrial: Applied in industrial settings for equipment, racks, and structural elements.
- Furniture: Used in the creation of metal furniture, including frames, supports, and decorative elements.
Advantages:
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications due to its adaptability in machining and fabrication.
- Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Provides a good balance of strength and weight, making it efficient for structural and load-bearing purposes.
- Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable compared to other high-strength materials, offering good performance at a reasonable cost.
- Customizability: Available in various diameters, widths, thicknesses, and finishes to meet specific design and performance needs.
