How to distinguish a round bar from forging? Cold drawing? Hot rolling?
Round bar is divided into three parts: hot rolling, forging and cold drawing. Standard Specification for hot rolled round steel is 5.5-250 mm. Where: 5.5-25 mm small round steel mostly straight bundles of supply, used for steel, bolts and various mechanical parts; greater than 25 mm round steel, seamless steel pipe is mainly used for the manufacture of mechanical parts of the tube, etc..
Hot rolled round steel, used in construction and general hardware parts processing is very common. Cold drawn round steel (do not know is not cold dial round bar). But I understand by the cold dial round bar Also mainly used in hardware parts processing and production. Such as hinge shaft core or other surface and diameter requirements of production and processing occasions.
The main differences are in mechanical properties. Forged round steel is used in the processing of some special performance requirements. Round steel three processing methods are more common, should be very wide surface.
