Cold Finished Carbon Steel Bars

These are general and special purpose steels widely used for a variety of job requirements. Choose from low cost, versatile 1018 up to 1541 all produced to explicit specifications for controlled chemistry, to assure greater internal soundness, cleanliness, improved hardening capabilities and better machinability.

For maximum machinability, choose from grades such as 12L14 or 1215. If greater strength is required, select from our medium carbon, direct hardening steels. And if extreme size accuracy, straightness and concentricity are required, inquire about ground and polished finishes.

These steel bar products provide quality, productivity and economy through the features of enhanced mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, enhanced straightness and brighter uniform surface through the process of cold drawing. Along with enhanced Machinability, Cold Drawn Steel Bars provide measurable value.

There are three factors that add value to Cold Finished Steel Bars over Hot Rolled Steel Bars:

• Structural integrity (internal soundness)
• Improved surface quality
• Straightness and close dimensional tolerances

Capabilities and Available Grades

All of the Cold Drawn Bars produced by TSW are available with either a bright smooth, or ground and polished surface finish.
