Description
Round Bar
Base Material
-
Substrate: Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, or other materials, depending on application
-
Shape: Circular cross-section
Properties:
-
Strength: Round bars are highly durable, providing strong support for concrete structures and offering superior tensile strength.
-
Surface Quality: Provides a smooth, consistent surface for application in a wide range of structural settings. It ensures excellent bonding with concrete and remains unaffected by long-term exposure.
-
Longevity: The material maintains its shape and chemical structure over time, ensuring minimal maintenance and a long lifespan, especially in concrete applications.
Manufacturing Process
-
Heating: Steel billets are heated to a high temperature in a furnace, making them malleable for rolling.
-
Hot Rolling: The billets are passed through rollers to achieve the desired round shape and diameter.
-
Cooling: After rolling, the round bars are cooled to room temperature.
-
Cutting: The round bars are cut into the required lengths based on customer specifications.
-
Finishing: Surface treatment may be applied depending on the use case (e.g., coating or galvanising for corrosion resistance).
Common Grades of Round Bar
| Material | Features | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Mild Steel | Cost-effective, easy to weld and fabricate | Concrete reinforcement, structural applications |
| Alloy Steel | High strength, wear-resistant, suitable for heavy-duty applications | Industrial equipment, mechanical parts |
Typical Specifications
-
Diameter: Available in a range from 6 mm to 250 mm or more (custom sizes available upon request).
-
Length: Commonly available in 6-meter lengths, though custom lengths can be made.
-
Surface Finish: Standard mill finish, with optional coating (e.g., galvanizing) for added corrosion protection.
Advantages
-
Strength and Durability: Round bars are designed to provide excellent tensile strength, ensuring the stability of reinforced concrete structures.
-
Longevity: The material remains stable and retains its chemical properties over time, contributing to the durability and maintenance-free nature of concrete structures.
-
Versatile Applications: Suitable for use in a wide range of structural and industrial applications.
-
Corrosion Resistance: When coated or galvanised, the round bars offer superior protection against corrosion, ensuring longer service life.
Applications
-
Construction: Used as reinforcement in concrete structures like foundations, beams, and columns.
-
Industrial: Manufacturing of machinery components, shafts, axles, and other mechanical parts.
-
Marine & Offshore: Suitable for structural components in environments exposed to saltwater and harsh conditions.
-
Infrastructure: Bridges, tunnels, highways, and other infrastructure projects.
