Carbon Steel Bright Bars — Manufacturer & Supplier
Strength straight from stock — EN3B, EN8, EN8D, EN9, 1018, 1045 and CK45.
Carbon bright bar is bought where the part carries load as well as being machined. EN3B and 1018 stay weldable and formable for fabricated work and carburised pins. EN8, 1045 and CK45 sit in the middle, strong enough for shafts and keys as supplied and able to be induction hardened where a wear face is needed. EN9 goes further again for guides and tools that must hold a hard surface. All six are stocked cold drawn, with turned and ground options above 20 mm.
Manufactured under the Stancor Bright Bars brand by Stancor Bright Bars.
