7/16″ CF-1018 Steel Round Bar
(Value Pack 2 pcs at 48″ length)*

A cold rolled steel round bar is a round bar of steel that has been processed to have a smooth surface finish and close dimensional accuracy. Cold-rolled steel is made from hot-rolled steel that has been further processed.

Cold rolled steel round bars are primarily used for applications requiring high precision, tight tolerances, and a smooth surface finish, such as machine shafts, spindles, precision mechanical parts, automotive components, furniture parts, structural components in machinery, and any application where close dimensional accuracy is critical; due to their superior strength and better surface quality compared to hot rolled bars.

Key points about cold rolled steel round bars:

• High precision: The cold rolling process produces a more consistent and precise shape compared to hot rolled steel.
• Better surface finish: Cold rolled bars have a smoother surface with fewer imperfections.
• Increased strength: Generally stronger than hot rolled steel due to the cold working process.
• Common applications: Shafts, axles, pins, gears, sprockets, structural components in machinery, furniture legs, and some automotive parts.
