Valued Added Processes for Steel Bar and Wire Rod
Our team can work with you to determine which of the value-added processes outlined below are right for your application.
Cold Drawing
Cold drawn wire and bars offer improved size accuracy, finish, straightness, and mechanical properties compared to hot rolled steel. Learn more about cold drawn steel bar.
Turn, Polish, and Precision Grinding
Turned and polished steel offers a smoother, defect-free finish for even hot rolled steel, in addition to a high level of concentricity and optimum straightness. Learn more about turn and polish.
Rough Turned
Rough turning a material removes the bar's surface layer, generally eliminating decarburization, seams, slivers, and other surface imperfections.
Heat Treating
Heat/Thermal treatment techniques include annealing, normalizing, quenching/tempering, and stress relieving.
Quenching and Tempering
This process involves heating a steel bar above the austenitic transformation temperature before rapidly quenching it using oil or water to increase hardness, and then tempering it to reduce brittleness.
Machining
Machining services can create custom shapes to support unique applications for steel bars and wire rods.
Production Saw Cutting
Precision saw cutting can be used to remove unwanted material and shape steel bars to application-specific requirements.
Production Chamfer
Chamfering is a machining process that can be used to remove edge portions of steel bar to create a desired shape.
Wire Processing
Wire processing services can help create specific meet specific requirements for wire-based applications.
Eddy Current Testing
Eddy current testing makes use of electromagnetic induction to identify defects in the tubing.
Shot Blasting
This process is a surface treatment technique that uses a high-pressure spray of abrasive “shot” to create steel materials to create a smooth surface.
