Alloy steel round bars are alloyed with different chemical elements like nickel, chromium, molybdenum, boron, etc. The alloying element of the Alloy Steel Round Bar helps give it strength, hardness, wear resistance, and toughness in different conditions. The amounts of alloying elements vary between 1 to 50%. There are different types of AS amongst these is the High strength low alloy steel round bar and low alloy bars. These HSLA bars have excellent mechanical properties and greater resistance to corrosion than a normal grade. An HSLA Round Bar is more responsive to heat treatment and has higher toughness and strength.
They are commonly utilized in construction and structural applications. Low alloy steel bars have similar properties as HSLA bars, but they have a lower carbon content. They are easy to process and are cheaper in comparison to the HSLA grade. Alloy bars can also be produced in hex, flat and square shapes. Alloy steel hex bar is designed in a hexagonal cross section. The 6 sided bars are easy to move and installed in tough spots. Alloy steel square bar is produced in a square cross sectional area. These bars are common in general assembly and manufacturing units. The alloy steel forged bar has a rectangular cross section and is used in different supporting systems. They are utilized in places where strength and tolerances are not necessary. An alloy steel bar stock is produced in a range of dimensions to meet customer requirements.
