Introduction to Steel Bars
Steel Pro Group offers a wide range of steel bars. Steel bars are long, solid metal bars used in various industries and can be divided into two profiles: Plain bars and deformed bars. They are mainly made from steel and may contain trace elements such as vanadium, titanium, niobium and other components to improve their properties.
They are mainly made by processes such as hot rolling, cold drawing and forging. Due to their high strength, flexibility, durability, weldability, malleability, and high seismic resistance, steel bars are very important in the construction, mining, automotive, and mechanical sectors.
Types of Steel Bars
-
- High-Strength Steel Bars: Used in high-stress applications due to their enhanced strength.
- Plain Carbon Steel Bars:High strength and hardness, ideal for construction and manufacturing. Includes Structural Steel Bars essential for construction.
- Alloy Steel Bars: Enhanced properties from elements like chromium and nickel, suited for specialized uses. Includes Tool Steel Bars for high wear resistance and toughness.
- Stainless Steel Bars: Resistant to corrosion and staining, ideal for environments exposed to moisture and chemicals.
- Hot Rolled Steel Bars: Made by rolling steel at high temperatures, providing a rough surface, typically used in construction and welding.
- Cold Rolled Steel Bars: Produced by rolling steel at room temperature, resulting in smooth surfaces, often used in automotive parts and home appliances.
Industries & Applications
Steel bars are versatile and essential materials used across various industries due to their strength, durability, and adaptability. Here are some key industries where steel bars play a crucial role:
Some common industries and applications include:
Construction
Steel bars reinforce concrete in buildings, bridges, and roads, providing tensile strength and load support.
