Metal bars are lengths of material in a range of forms suitable for use in a wide range of applications. Construction and fabrication industries are some of the most common uses for metal bars and use the wide range of material and form choice in industrial and everyday use products.
Types of metal bar
Available in four common forms, metal bar is a versatile material for fabrication and machining.
Square Bar – A length of bar with equal width and height dimensions
Rectangular Bar – A length of bar with different width and height dimensions
Round Bar – Also known as Metal Rod, round bar is typically measured by its diameter referring to the widest dimension across the cross-section of the bar
Hexagonal bar – More commonly known as Hex bar, the hexagonal bar is a length of six-sided bar with its diameter measured across two opposing flat faces. This unit of measure is referred to as AC for Across Flats.
Also available in a range of materials, our range of metal bar materials can accommodate any application. Our metal bars can be found in:
