Cold Rolled Steel Round Bar Tolerances

With one of the largest size and length capabilities in the industry we produce sizes from 0 158 4mm through 16 round and lengths up to 75.

Cold rolled steel round bar tolerances.

Sizeinches maximum of carbon range0 28 or less maximum ofcarbon rangeover 0 28 to0. 1018 cold rolled steel round bars are an excellent candidate for most processing techniques. Northlake produces and stocks a diverse range of cold finished round steel bars. Standard tolerances for cold rolled steel bar stock usually choosing material thickness is one of the first steps a designer takes when starting a project.

Cold finished carbon steel bar tolerances all tolerances in inches to the minus. 15 5 17 4 303 304 316 321 416 cold finish. The cold working of the bar likewise improves machinability usually rated at 76. We work with nominal thicknesses so it s important to know the thickness tolerance on the material you chose in order to know if the final product will be suitable for your application.

Precision shafting ground to a tolerance finer than a human hair 888 278 4682. The cross sectional area of the hot rolled bar is cold reduced resulting in accurate size smooth surface increased mechanical properties and machinability. If the bar is 1 5 thick x 3 5 wide the width tolerance of 0 006 will be the tolerance for the thickness as well which is 0 006. 0 0625 to 0 3125 excl 0 001.

1018 is a low carbon steel with good case hardening qualities. 0 008 0 008 0 012 over 7 8 to 1 incl. Steel bars 1 2 cold finished carbon bars cold finished bars are produced from special bar quality hot rolled bars by cold drawing turning or grinding or by a combination of these methods. Most cold finished bars are produced by cold drawing oversize hot rolled bars through a die.

1018 cold roll bars have a higher tensile and yield strength compared to hot rolled bars. Width governs the tolerances both width and thickness for rectangle bars.
