General Fabrication & Structural Applications – Steel Bright Bars
This application falls under the General Engineering & Fabrication segment, where bright steel bars are
used for fabricated structures, machined fabrication parts and precision-fit assemblies.
Bright bars are preferred over hot rolled material when straightness, clean edges, dimensional accuracy
and repeatability are important.
