Cold Finished Bar

Cold finished steel is essentially hot rolled steel that has been further processed and produced as either turned bars (removing the surface of hot rolled bars, improving dimensional control) or cold drawn bars (pulling a bar through a die which is smaller than the incoming hot rolled size).

Cold finished steel bars are popular among steel buyers and manufacturers due to five key benefits:

1. Size and roundness with tighter tolerances
2. Straightness
3. Surface finish free of scale
4. Mechanical properties with higher yield and tensile strength
5. Machinability leading to better tool life

Cold finished bars are the best options for the construction industry when they are creating high-stress applications such as beams, columns and structures such as industrial buildings. They provide the support and reliability necessary for a safe building since they are 20% stronger than hot rolled steel.
