Cold Drawn & Hot Rolled Product Lines
Cold Drawn Stainless Steel Bar
Cold drawn stainless steel bars feature improved surface finish, tighter dimensional tolerances and enhanced mechanical properties. They are ideal for precision machining, automatic turning lines and applications where accuracy and surface quality are critical.
- Bright surface and excellent dimensional accuracy
- Higher strength through cold work
- Suitable for high-speed machining and CNC processing
- Available in round, hexagon and square sections
Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Bar
Hot rolled stainless steel bars offer robust strength and good toughness with a more economical production route. They are widely used in structural parts, general engineering components and further processing such as forging and machining.
- Wide size range and flexible lengths
- Good toughness and weldability
- Cost-effective for structural applications
- Suitable for further forging, heat treatment and machining
Cold Drawn vs Hot Rolled – Which Bar to Choose?
| Aspect | Cold Drawn Stainless Steel Bar | Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Bar |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Finish | Bright, smooth surface, suitable for applications requiring good appearance and low roughness. | Relatively rougher, mill finish surface, usually followed by further machining or shot blasting. |
| Dimensional Tolerance | Tight dimensional tolerances and better straightness, ideal for precision machining and automatic lathes. | Standard tolerances, suitable for less critical dimensions or when further machining is planned. |
| Mechanical Properties | Higher yield and tensile strength due to cold working. | Lower strength than cold drawn but with better ductility and toughness. |
| Typical Applications | Shafts, pins, fasteners, precision components, hydraulic parts and other accurate machined parts. | Structural members, flanges, forgings, base plates and general engineering components. |
| Cost Level | Higher unit cost, but can reduce machining time and material waste. | More economical, especially for large sections and structural use. |
