Norfolk Iron & Metal stocks carbon steel rounds in both cold drawn and hot rolled varieties, each offering distinct advantages depending on the application.
Cold drawn rounds are produced by drawing the steel through a die at room temperature, which enhances their surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties, making them ideal for applications requiring tight tolerances and high strength, such as precision shafts, fasteners, and machinery parts.
Hot rolled rounds, on the other hand, are manufactured by heating the steel and rolling it into shape at high temperatures, resulting in a more economical option with a rougher surface and slightly larger dimensional tolerances. Hot rolled rounds are commonly used in general-purpose applications where precise measurements are less critical, such as in construction, structural components, and heavy equipment.
Both types of carbon steel rounds offer excellent strength and versatility for a wide range of industrial needs. To view our full available carbon steel product offering, visit the NIM Customer Portal.
