High Carbon Round Stock

Why Choose Carbon Steel Round Bar Stock?

Carbon steel round bar stock is one of the most cost-effective and versatile materials available today. Known for its high strength, stress resistance, and long service life, it is widely used in industries ranging from construction and piping to the maintenance of modern roadways. Its durability and performance make it a preferred material for both heavy-duty and precision applications.

Advantages of High Carbon Round Bar Stock

Cost-Effective – More affordable than many alternative metals while still offering excellent performance.
High Strength – Provides outstanding load-bearing capacity and resistance to stress.
Durability – Long-lasting material that performs well under demanding conditions.
Corrosion Resistance – High-carbon grades maintain their integrity even when exposed to challenging environments.
Safety & Reliability – Trusted in industries where structural stability and toughness are critical.

Applications of Carbon Steel Round Bar Stock

Thanks to its versatility, carbon steel round bar is widely used in:

Construction projects and structural frameworks
Piping systems and industrial supports
Roadway maintenance and infrastructure
Machinery parts and precision components

At Mozaic Precision Metals, we specialize in supplying precision ground carbon steel bars that meet the highest standards of quality and accuracy. Whether your project requires strength, reliability, or cost-efficiency, our bar stock provides a proven solution.

Long-Lasting Carbon Steel Round Stock

Carbon steel round bar is valued for its long-term durability, strength, and shock resistance, making it an ideal choice for construction, manufacturing, and engineering projects. Compared to wood or concrete, steel offers greater resilience against natural disasters such as earthquakes and tornadoes, ensuring safer and longer-lasting structures.

Sustainable & Environmentally Friendly

Carbon precision ground steel bar is not only durable but also highly sustainable. It offers a long service life and can be fully recycled without losing its mechanical properties. This makes carbon steel a cost-effective and eco-friendly material for industries committed to reducing waste and supporting renewable resources.

Common Types and Grades of Carbon Steel Round Bar Stock

Carbon steels are generally classified into four main categories based on carbon content. Each category offers unique properties that suit different applications:

Very Low Carbon Steel: Extremely ductile and easily formable, often used in wire products and sheet metal.
Low Carbon Steel: Offers good strength and weldability, making it suitable for structural components, fasteners, and automotive parts.
Medium Carbon Steel: Provides a balance of strength and toughness, commonly used in shafts, gears, and machinery components.
High Carbon Steel: Known for excellent hardness and wear resistance, ideal for tools, blades, springs, and other high-strength applications.

Types of Carbon Steel Round Bar Stock

Carbon steel round bar stock is categorized by its carbon content, which directly affects its hardness, strength, ductility, and machinability. From low-carbon to very high-carbon grades, each type offers unique advantages for different applications.

Low or Mild Carbon Steels

Containing 0.05% to 0.25% carbon and 0.40% to 0.45% manganese, low-carbon (mild) steels are highly machinable, ductile, and cost-effective. They are widely used in manufacturing and fabrication. Through carburizing, the surface hardness of mild steels can be doubled, enhancing wear resistance while maintaining a tough core.

Medium Carbon Steel Round Bar Stock

With 0.30% to 0.55% carbon and manganese ranging from 0.60% to 1.65%, medium carbon steels offer a strong balance of strength, toughness, and wear resistance. They are commonly used in applications such as axles, shafts, gears, and other mechanical parts that require durability with moderate machinability.

High Carbon Steel Round Bar Stock

High-carbon steels contain 0.55% to 0.95% carbon and 0.30% to 0.90% manganese. These steels are known for their robustness, excellent edge retention, and ability to maintain shape under stress. Typical applications include springs, wire, cutting tools, and high-strength machine components.

Very High Carbon Steels

With a carbon content ranging from 0.96% to 2.0%, very high-carbon steels are extremely hard but also brittle, requiring careful handling. These steels are used in specialty applications such as blades, cutting tools, and other high-strength precision instruments.

Which Carbon Steel Round Bar Do You Need?

As a general rule, the higher the carbon content, the harder the steel—though this also reduces machinability and ductility. For manufacturing, low-carbon steels are often preferred due to their ease of processing, while medium and high-carbon steels are chosen for applications requiring strength and wear resistance.
