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.

Common Types of Round Bars

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.
