Carbon Steel Bars by Shape

Compare solid bar cross sections, then select the grade, hot-rolled or cold-finished condition and tolerance standard for your application.

Cold Drawn Steel Bar

Choose a cold-finished supply condition when your drawing calls for tighter dimensional control, improved surface finish or specified straightness. The actual tolerance and mechanical properties depend on the selected bar specification.

Check These Details Before Quoting

An accurate factory quote begins with a dimensioned bar schedule. If your order contains several shapes or grades, you can submit them together.

Round: π × diameter² ÷ 4

Square: side²

Flat: width × thickness

Hex: √3 × across-flats² ÷ 2

Cross-section area (mm²) × 0.00785 = theoretical kg/m.

PROCUREMENT FAQ

Carbon Steel Bar Buying Questions

Which shapes are available for carbon steel bars?

Common solid shapes include round, square, flat and hexagonal bars. Confirm the grade, section dimensions, available delivery condition and lengths for your order.

How do I select hot-rolled versus cold-drawn steel bars?

Choose the delivery condition from your drawing and manufacturing process. Cold-finished bars are often specified where surface finish or dimensional tolerance is important. Actual requirements depend on the chosen grade and product specification.

Can I use AISI 1045, C45, S45C and GB 45 as interchangeable grades?

Provide the precise designation and governing standard required by your drawing. Their chemical, test and delivery requirements must be checked against the order before substituting one designation for another.

How are round, square, flat and hex steel bar weights estimated?

Calculate the nominal solid cross-sectional area in mm², multiply it by 0.00785 to obtain kg/m, then multiply by the bar length and number of pieces. Nominal geometry is a planning estimate.

What information is needed for a bulk carbon steel bar quote?

Provide the shape, grade, standard edition, nominal dimensions, tolerances, length, quantity or total tonnage, delivery condition, certificate requirements and destination port.

Can bar stock be cut to a specified length?

Include the required length and length tolerance in the request. Cutting and other finishing options can be confirmed with the quotation based on the grade and ordered quantity.
