Cold rolled Squares

Cold Rolled bars are a popular choice when strength, accuracy, and a smooth finish matter.

What Are Cold Rolled Merchant Bars?

Cold rolled merchant bars begin as hot rolled steel that is further processed at room temperature. This additional processing improves the material's dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical properties.Cold rolled merchant bars are commonly available in flat, round, square, and hexagonal shapes.


Why Choose Cold Rolled Steel?

The cold finishing process produces steel that is straighter, smoother, and more consistent than hot rolled material. It also increases the material's strength and hardness while providing tighter dimensional tolerances.


Common Applications

Cold rolled merchant bars are used in a wide variety of industries and products, including:

  • Machinery and equipment
  • Manufacturing and fabrication
  • Agricultural equipment
  • Automotive components
  • Ornamental ironwork
  • General industrial applications


A Reliable Choice for Precision Work

If your project requires steel with a smooth surface, consistent dimensions, and excellent machinability, cold rolled merchant bars are worth considering. The additional processing helps produce higher-quality finished parts while reducing the amount of machining needed to achieve the desired result.
