Carbon Steel Hex Bar and Rod are primarily made of iron mixed with carbon (ranging from 0.05% to 1.0%), along with manganese and trace elements. This blend boosts strength and hardness while keeping the material workable. The mechanical properties include a tensile strength of about 620 MPa, yield strength around 415 MPa, and elongation of up to 20%. These characteristics provide excellent machinability, weldability, and resistance to wear. Depending on the grade and heat treatment, carbon steel hex bars and rods strike a balance between toughness and strength, making them perfect for demanding mechanical applications that require durability and resilience.
