Steel Round Bar & Good Machinability,ASTM A36、ASTM A108、EN10060、JIS G4051(S45C)
1. Product Overview
Steel round bar is a solid long steel with a circular cross-section, measured by diameter (mm) in the industry. It is the most basic and universal profile for machinery manufacturing, construction, heavy industry and hardware processing. The circular symmetrical cross-section features uniform stress distribution and excellent fatigue resistance, compatible with turning, forging, welding and heat treatment. Custom specifications, materials, lengths and surfaces are available with sufficient stock. Delivery cycle: 5-7 days, shipped from Tianjin Port.

3. Main Material Grades, Properties & Applications
3.1 Carbon Structural Round Bar (General Basic Material)
Q235B, Q345BLow-carbon general steel with excellent welding and cold bending performance and lowest cost; applied to building supports, fences, simple bases, embedded components and general hardware.
Low-carbon quality steel: 10#, 20#High plasticity for stamping and carburizing; used for rivets, chains, thin-walled pipe fittings and gear carburizing blanks.
Medium carbon steel: 35#, 45# (Most widely used grade)Balanced strength and toughness with ideal quenching & tempering performance; universal raw material for shafts, gears, ordinary bolts and construction machinery standard parts.
High carbon steel: 65Mn, 70#High elasticity and hardness; for springs, shock-absorbing parts, wear-resistant spring sheets and tool blanks.
3.2 Alloy Structural Round Bar (For Heavy-Duty High-Strength Scenarios)
40Cr: Much higher strength than 45# after quenching & tempering, good wear and fatigue resistance; for automobile half shafts, gears, high-strength bolts and transmission shafts.
42CrMo / 35CrMo: High temperature and impact resistance for high-pressure heavy load; heavy machine tool spindles, hydraulic cylinders, power station equipment and forgings.
20CrMnTi: Special carburizing steel with hard surface and tough core; automobile transmission gears and precision transmission shafts.
60Si2Mn: Dedicated spring alloy steel; shock-absorbing springs for construction machinery and rail transit elastic components.
3.3 Special Round Bar
Free-cutting steel Y12/Y40Mn: For mass small parts processed by CNC lathes without tool sticking.
Bearing steel GCr15: Bearing inner/outer rings and wear-resistant rollers.
Tool steel Cr12MoV: Molds and wear-resistant stamping tooling.
4. Core Specification Parameters
4.1 Diameter Coverage
Hot rolled: Φ5.5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80~500mmCold drawn: Full series precision small specifications Φ3~120mmForged: Super large round bar Φ120~800mm
4.2 Theoretical Weight Calculation Formula
Weight per meter (kg/m) = Diameter (mm) × Diameter (mm) × 0.00617Example: Φ50 round bar: 50×50×0.00617=15.425kg/m
4.3 Optional Surface Treatments
Hot rolled black finish, cold drawn bright finish, peeled finish, ground finish, sandblasted finish, anti-rust oil coated finish
