Farm Machinery & Agricultural Equipment – Applications of Steel Bright Bars
This application falls under the Automotive, Agri & Heavy Machinery segment, where bright steel bars are
used for high-load, wear-intensive and reliability-critical agricultural components.
In farm machinery, bright bars are preferred for their strength, straightness, machinability
and ability to perform reliably under dust, vibration and cyclic loading conditions.

FAQs
Why are bright bars preferred over hot rolled bars in farm machinery?
Bright bars offer better dimensional accuracy and surface finish, reducing machining time and improving component life.
Which grades are commonly used for tractor and rotavator parts?
EN8, EN19 and 20MnCr5 are commonly used depending on load, wear and heat treatment requirements.
Can bright bars withstand harsh agricultural operating conditions?
Yes. When properly selected and heat treated, bright bars perform reliably under dust, vibration and cyclic loads.
