Forged & Proof Machined Bars

Our integrated manufacturing edge gives us the ability to produce steel in a variety of finishes, surface options and profiles

120 mm - 550 mm Up to 6 metres ASTM A484, EN10060

OVERVIEW

Product Description

Our largest bars, 120 mm to 550 mm, are supplied proof machined: rough turned below the outer skin so the surface is proven clean and free of defects before the customer's final machining. Proof machined bars carry a superior, inspected surface and cater to the biggest sizes in our range.

Weight per metre at these diameters is worked out by the weight calculator, and grade chemistry is in the grade reference.
