Bar

We offer a wide range of drawn bar in stainless and alloy grades to all the major international  specifications across a wide range of diameters. Applications principally include:

  • Bearing steels
  • Component manufacture
  • Construction industries
  • Free machining

Fox stainless steel bars, produced in the bright Schumag drawn and lightly polished condition, have  tight diameter and length tolerances plus the advantage of a bright surface finish, ideal for many end uses or for further polishing.

The tight controls adopted during the manufacture of bearing steel ensure a product which has close diameter tolerances. Additionally, 100% crack detection by Eddy Current ensures that our product is free from harmful defects.

We also produce bars in free-machining grades made from specially designed chemistries so that consistently high speed production levels with reduced tool wear can be achieved.

One end of the bars can be chamfered automatically in line with the drawing machine if required.

A range of smaller diameters is also available cut to length from coils.
