Steel Ground Bars are often subjected to extremely high loads, and no single steel offers properties such as maximum wear resistance, hardness, and toughness. Our steel portfolio includes the most common steel dimensions and grades, to provide an optimal combination of properties and desired size for a specific application.

 

It can be very frustrating to search for the optimal Ground Bar Steel Grade for all your applications. We’ve got the perfect solution for this.

WHAT IS A PRECISION GROUND BAR?

A Precision Ground Bar is a round metal bar with very tight tolerances and is 100% decarburization-free. They are also known as Drill Rod Steel and are used for manufacturing various tools. They are utilized in many industries such as mechanical engineering, construction, and the manufacturing industry.

PRECISION GROUND BARS STEEL SELECTION

To find the right Steel Ground Bar for your project, you can use two methods:

Method 1: Initial or proactive Ground Bar Steel Selection

This method involves determining what extent the primary properties and dimensions of the desired Precision Steel Ground Bars must have.

Method 2: Reactive Ground Bar Steel Selection

With this method, the causes are determined after a failure or breakdown of the component and a suitable steel quality of Ground Bar is selected on the basis of the new required properties.
