It is one of the materials widely used in machine manufacturing, but not everyone knows what a round bar is or what its characteristics are. The appearance of this type of steel has become the perfect alternative to fragile steel. Learn about the round bar now in the article below!
What is the round bar?
A round bar is an alloy steel containing about 0.42–0.50 carbon. It has good resistance, is less susceptible to corrosion or oxidation, and is highly elastic. These are big plus points that help round bars be widely used in the mechanical industry, manufacturing molds and machine parts such as bolts, gears, screws,…
Round bar is also known as round flat steel or plain round steel. This type of steel is dense, and the surface is smooth and shiny.
Current types of round bars
Due to high demand, the market currently has many types of plain round steel. However, it is still divided into two main types based on two criteria, including size and steel hook. Specifically:
By size: The round bar has a variety of sizes, ranging from types from Ø10 to Ø610 with lengths of 6m, 9m, and 12 m, respectively.
According to steel grade: S45C, S50C, S35C, S30C, S20C, SCM420, SCM440, SCR420,…
The production process of round bar
To create a round bar, we need to go through four stages, including:
– Ore processing: After ore is extracted from the ground, it will be processed and put into a furnace. After heating to a certain temperature, we will obtain a stream of molten metal.
– Creating a molten steel stream: From the initial metal stream, which continues to be led into the furnace, CO gas will escape, and the ore that remains will be molten steel. This steel will be filtered to become pure molten steel.
– Feed casting: When pure molten steel is obtained, it will be sent to the billet casting furnace. This step will create three types of embryos: bar embryos, session embryos, and bloom embryos.
– Billet rolling: This is the step to creating solid, flexible, brightly colored round steel bars.
– Galvanizing: With galvanized round bar steel, this is the step of using NOF technology to plate a layer of zinc on the surface of the steel bar. This step helps increase corrosion resistance and preserve the inner steel core.
Advantages and disadvantages of a round bar
As mentioned, a round bar is considered an excellent alternative to old steel lines. It is not natural that it is so highly appreciated. Let’s take a look at the pluses and minuses of clear, solid steel!
Advantage
- Steel is flexible, malleable, and easy to process to the required size.
- Steel is relatively small and light, so it is easy to transport and manufacture.
- Diverse in size, suitable for many applications
- The surface is smooth and shiny, so it is highly aesthetic.
Disadvantages
- Steel has a short lifespan because it is only covered with a thin layer of electroplating on the outside.
- May deform when exposed to high temperatures.
- Because the intestines are dense, it takes time to process.
- With zinc-dipped steel, the price is quite high.
Application of steel
Currently, round bars are used in many industries, with roles such as:
- Create molds such as rice husk molds, plastic molds, shape molds, etc.
- Create cutting and grinding tools such as saw blades, shaped rollers, etc.
- Manufacturing bolts for telecommunications receiving and broadcasting stations
- Create materials such as bolts, screws, rivets, etc.
Weight table – Specifications of round bar
Understanding the specifications of round bar steel helps you easily choose the type of steel that suits your needs. From there, help the project be durable, stable, and have a long lifespan. The finished products ensure quality and, at the same time, save on costs.
