What are the key features of hot rolled steel square bars?
Offering a unique combination of properties, hot rolled steel square bars are ideal for a wide range of uses. Their key features include exceptional strength and load-bearing capacity, a uniform cross-section, and excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
Strength & load-bearing capacity
High strength and impressive load-bearing capacity is one of the main advantages of hot rolled square bars. The hot rolling process refines the steel’s grain structure, providing superior mechanical properties that make these bars ideal for structural and heavy-duty applications. Whether supporting heavy loads in construction or serving as important components in machinery, our bars deliver consistent performance.
Uniform cross-section
Our hot rolled steel square bars are manufactured to precise dimensions, resulting in a uniform cross-section along their entire length. This consistency is vitally important for applications that require uniform stress distribution and precise fitting. The uniformity of our bars also makes for easier machining, cutting, and welding, which helps reduce fabrication time and costs.
Durability & corrosion resistance
Thanks to their sturdy composition, hot rolled square bars offer excellent durability. They can withstand harsh environments and resist wear and deformation. When coated or treated properly, they also offer significant corrosion resistance, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. The durability of our steel bars ensures a long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
Compliance & standards
Compliance with industry standards and certifications, as well as with safety and environmental regulations, is essential to ensure the success of your projects. Our hot rolled steel square bars meet or exceed key industry benchmarks, ensuring safety, quality, and performance. Some of the internationally recognised standards our steel bars adhere to include:
- ASTM A36: A widely used standard for carbon structural steel, ASTM A36 is known for its strength and versatility.
- EN 10025: This European standard for hot rolled structural steel ensures consistent quality and performance.
- ISO 9001: Our commitment to this quality management system ensures that our hot rolled square bars, as well as our other products, undergo rigorous quality control processes.
What are the applications of hot rolled steel square bars?
The versatility and reliability of hot rolled steel square bars are essential components in numerous industries. Some of their most common applications include:
- Construction: Our square steel bars are used in frameworks, support structures, and reinforcement applications.
- Engineering: These bars are crucial for the fabrication of tools, industrial equipment, and machinery parts.
- Infrastructure: Hot rolled square bars are used in bridges, railings, and other infrastructure projects that require robust materials.
- Manufacturing: Our steel square bars are used in agricultural machinery, automotive components, and various metal fabrication processes.
What are the different grades of hot rolled steel square bars?
Choosing the right grade of steel is crucial for meeting specific application requirements. At SPS, we offer hot rolled steel square bars in a range of grades to suit various needs, such as:
- A36: One of the most popular grades, A36 is known for its excellent strength, ductility, machinability, and versatility that make it ideal for construction, heavy equipment, and general structural applications.
- S275JR: This non-alloy structural steel with good tensile strength and weldability is commonly used in structural and engineering applications that require moderate strength and excellent machinability.
- C45: A medium carbon steel known for good tensile strength and wear resistance, this grade is often used in axles, bolts, gears, and other manufacturing applications requiring hardness and toughness.
