Understanding bar products
Bar is typically produced as centerless ground, offering a straight product with tight tolerances and a smooth, polished surface. Bar products are manufactured to meet your specifications for tensile strength, yield strength, diameter tolerance, and length. Additionally, we offer precision-drawn bar. Depending on the alloy, bar can offer strength, corrosion resistance, and good biocompatibility, making this product remarkably adaptable. We also provide dedicated engineering support every step of the way.
Design specifications
The first step to designing bar products is choosing the right alloy for your application. You can learn more about available alloys by clicking the pages below.
Size ranges
Processing capabilities can differ depending on the alloy, so check with your Sales Representative about the possibilities for your bar product.
