Welcome to Our Forged Steel Bars Section
Introduction to Forged Steel Bars:
Forged steel bars are renowned for their exceptional strength, durability, and reliability, making them a preferred choice in various industries. Unlike hot rolled black bars, forged steel bars are produced through a different process, which involves compressive forces that shape the metal into desired forms. This forging process enhances the grain structure, resulting in superior mechanical properties and resistance to wear and impact.
The Forging Process:
Forging is a manufacturing process where steel is shaped by applying localized compressive forces. The process begins with heating the steel billets or ingots to a suitable temperature, typically above the recrystallization temperature. The heated material is then shaped using hammers, presses, or specialized machinery to achieve the desired shape, such as rounds, squares, flats, or hexagons. Forging imparts directional strength to the bars, making them ideal for critical applications.
Sizes Available:
At Steel & Alloys, we offer a diverse range of forged steel bars to meet your specific project requirements. Whether you need small-diameter rounds or larger-sized squares and flats, we have a wide selection of sizes available.
Standards Governing Forged Steel Bars:
Our forged steel bars adhere to the highest industry standards, ensuring top-notch quality and performance. The manufacturing process follows Indian, European, American, and British standards, providing you with peace of mind regarding the reliability of our products. Some of the standards that govern our forged steel bars include:
- Indian Standards: IS 1875, IS 2830, IS 2707
- European Standards: EN 10025, EN 10250
- American Standards: ASTM A105, ASTM A182
- British Standards: BS EN 10277, BS EN 10250
Grades of Steel and Available Sizes:
We take pride in offering a comprehensive selection of steel grades in each section type:
1. Rounds: Our forged steel round bars are available in various grades, including SAE 4140, SAE 4340, and more. Sizes range from 150mm to 800mm in diameter.
2. Squares: Choose from a variety of square bars in grades like EN 24, EN 31, and others. Sizes start from 80mm and go up to 600mm.
3. Flats: Our forged steel flats come in grades like SAE 8620, SAE 52100, and more. Sizes range from 20mm width to 200mm, with thickness options from 6mm to 100mm.
4. Hexagons: For hexagonal bars, we offer various grades like ASTM A193 B7, ASTM A182 F22, and more. Sizes are available from 20mm to 100mm across flats.
Melting Routes:
To ensure the highest quality forged steel bars, we utilize various melting routes to obtain the required steel grades:
1. Electric Arc Furnace (EAF): Melting recycled steel scrap using electric arcs for energy efficiency and producing a wide range of steel grades.
2. Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF): Combining pig iron with scrap steel and oxygen to produce large quantities of steel at a time.
3. Induction Furnace: Melting steel using electromagnetic induction for high-quality steel with precise control over composition.
Heat Treatment Options:
To further enhance the mechanical properties of our forged steel bars, we offer various heat treatment options:
1. Annealed: Heating the steel to relieve internal stresses, improve machinability, and enhance ductility.
2. Normalized: Heating the steel above its critical temperature and air-cooling to improve strength and toughness.
3. Quenched and Tempered: Heating the steel, quenching in water or oil, and tempering for high strength and wear resistance.
Advantages of Forged Steel Bars:
- Exceptional strength and durability
