Stainless steel bars
Marcegaglia Stainless Sheffield has a wide range of standard bar that are suitable for general machining. We are known for delivery reliability, competitive lead times and technical support, which are the cornerstones of our customer promise. Key benefits • European melt, integrated production • Low carbon footprint • Consistent products • Good overall cost of quality • Easy to do business with COLD FINISHED BAR The cold drawing process improves the mechanical strength and dimensional tolerances. It is achieved by cold deforming a hot rolled product using a die, resulting in a slight area reduction. Marcegaglia Sheffield Bar Stock offers cold drawn products in round, square and hexagonal shape in 3 – 6 meters lenghts with a bundle weight of around half a tonne. PEELED BAR Hot rolled bars have generally small surface imperfections after hot rolling, that are formed during the cooling process. Metal oxide layers can also build up over time. Peeling process removes imperfections as well as produces smooth surface and glossy visual appearance for the bars. These properties are required in the end-customer’s further processing. HOT ROLLED BAR The hot rolled product has a slightly higher elongation compared to a cold drawn product. Marcegaglia Sheffield Bar Stock offers two different surface conditions; peeled or hot rolled in round bars from stock to meet your requirements. Length are approximately 3 – 6 m round bars from stock and bundle weight is depending on size, varying between 0.5 to 2.2 tonnes.
