Different Types of Stainless Steel Bars Producti...

The main difference between stainless steel and ordinary steel, in terms of properties, is that the former does n
ot rust, corrode or stain easily. In terms of composition, stainless steel has a higher chromium content, which all
ows it to have this resistance towards corrosion.
Stainless steel is widely used in the form of bars. These have various applications in architecture and engineer
ing structures, such as beams, bridges, transmission towers, hoisting, ships, industrial furnaces and warehous
es, to name a few.
The different types of bars commonly used and a brief description of each is given as follows:

The different types of bars commonly used and a brief description of each is given as follows:
Stainless Steel Round Bars - Usually found in the size range of 4 mm 100 mm (3/16 inch
4 inch). These are not only corrosion resistance but have been developed over time to cater to specifi
c applications. To enhance machining of the steel into components, Improved Machining (IM) grades
have been developed like grades for hardness (achieved by responding to heat treatment) and grade
s with high corrosion resistance (achieved by adding additional elements to give it the characteristics
desired).
Stainless Steel Hexagon Bars - Usually found in the size range of 12 mm 45 mm (1/2-2
inch). They are available in Cold-drawn condition and Belt-polished condition. Colddrawn
bars have great dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finish, and increased mechanical properties.
Stainless Steel Square Bars - Usually found in the size range of 12 mm 40 mm ( -1
inch). They are ideal for all applications where greater strength and superior corrosion resistance i
s required. Square bars have a durable dull, mill finish and are widely used for fabrication projects tha
t are exposed to environments such as chemical, acidic, fresh water and salt water.
Stainless Steel Flat Bars - Usually found in the size range of 2 meters 7 meters (8 feet to 24
feet) in terms of length and in HRAP condition. HRAP stands for Hot, Rolled, Annealed and Pickled.
Flat Bars have fairly sharp corners and tighter tolerances on thickness and width and are often used b
y fabricators where the finished project is polished.
Precision Round Bars - Usually found in the size range of 6 mm 100 mm (1/4 4 inch). Precision
Round Bars are of two kinds - Pump Shaft Quality (PSQ) and Boat Shaft Quality
(BSQ). These are processed using the ultra-modern combined lines and state of the art
equipment, which ensures that the bars are free from any internal defects. The bars are then finished
using the specially designed finishing machines for size tolerances and surface roughness, as desire
d.
Hot Rolled Bars and RCSUsually found in various bar sizes ranging from 16 to 125mm and RCS Round Cornered Square) siz
es ranging from 50 to 115mm. Hot rolled bars have a wider tolerance than cold rolled bars and they ar
e also less costly. These bars are widely used for all general fabrication and repairs in industrial main
tenance, agricultural implements, transportation equipment, etc.
Producing over 80,000 tons/year, Ambica Steels is India's biggest Specialty Stainless Steel long Products Producer.
Product range includes Bright Bars, Cold Drawn Squares & Hexagons, Angles, Flat Bars, Forging Ingots and
