Type | Description & Uses |
---|---|
Mild Steel (MS) | Affordable and easy to work with. Used in construction, fabrication, and general engineering. |
Stainless Steel (SS 304, 316, 410, etc.) | Rust-resistant and strong. Used in food processing, medical, and marine industries. |
Carbon Steel | Higher strength than MS. Used in automotive and structural applications. |
Alloy Steel | Mixed with elements like chromium or molybdenum for added strength or corrosion resistance. |
Brass/Bronze | Used in decorative, electrical, and marine applications. | Aluminum | Lightweight and corrosion resistant. Used in transportation and aerospace industries. |

A round bar is a cylindrical, solid metal bar with a consistent circular cross-section. It comes in various diameters, lengths, and materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, brass, and aluminum.
