Description
25mm Diameter EN3B Mild Steel Round Bar - Bright Finish
The 25mm diameter EN3B mild steel round bar is an excellent choice for a wide range of engineering and industrial applications. With its bright mill finish, this round bar offers a combination of exceptional weldability, machinability, and formability, making it a highly versatile material for various projects.
Material and Properties
This round bar is made from EN3B grade mild steel, known for its excellent machinability and weldability. EN3B, a low-carbon mild steel, is widely used in manufacturing and fabrication due to its ease of shaping and forming. Whether you're working on custom components or large-scale fabrications, the bar’s properties allow for precise machining and cutting to meet your needs.
Formability and Weldability
One of the key advantages of this product is its outstanding formability and weldability. The mild steel composition ensures that it can be easily bent, shaped, or formed without compromising the material's structural integrity. Its excellent weldability makes it ideal for projects where joining or fabricating sections together is required, providing strong and reliable welds.
Machinability
The 25mm diameter EN3B round bar is particularly favoured for its machinability. It cuts cleanly and efficiently on lathes and milling machines, allowing for precision work on custom parts or high-volume production runs. This makes it an ideal choice for precision engineering and manufacturing where accuracy is crucial.
Corrosion Resistance and Finish
While the EN3B mild steel bar excels in many areas, it is important to note that it offers poor corrosion resistance. This means it may require additional protective coatings or treatments if used in environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or the elements is a concern. The round bar is supplied in a bright mill finish, offering a smooth surface that is free from scale, making it suitable for applications where a clean, aesthetic finish is required.
Applications
This 25mm diameter mild steel round bar is widely used in various sectors, including automotive, construction, and general engineering. Its versatility makes it suitable for crafting components, shafts, brackets, supports, and more. With its high level of machinability and formability, it is a go-to material for projects demanding both strength and flexibility.
