Mozaic Precision Metals supplies cold drawn steel bar stock for machining and manufacturing applications. Send us your material grade, dimensions, quantity, and required delivery date for a quote tailored to your project.
What Are Cold Drawn Steel Bars?
Cold drawing involves pulling steel bar through a die at room temperature to reduce its cross-section and control its dimensions. Compared with the starting hot-rolled material, this process typically improves dimensional consistency and surface finish. Cold working can also increase strength, with the resulting properties depending on the grade and processing condition.
Cold drawn bar can serve as stock for further machining or finishing. Specify the material condition and dimensional requirements when ordering.
Applications for Cold Drawn Steel Bar Stock
Depending on the selected grade and condition, cold drawn bars are used to manufacture:
- Shafts, pins, and axles
- Bushings, spacers, and couplings
- Bolts, studs, and other fasteners
- Pump and industrial machinery components
- CNC-machined parts and production components
Material selection should follow your drawing, purchase specification, and application requirements.
Cold Drawn Bar vs. Precision Ground Bar
Cold drawing controls bar dimensions through a die. Precision grinding removes material with an abrasive wheel to achieve a specified diameter and surface finish.
Cold drawn stock may be suitable when additional machining is planned. Applications requiring tighter diameter control or a specific surface finish may call for centerless grinding.
Neither finish alone establishes straightness, roundness, or suitability for a particular application. Include those requirements in your quote request.
