Steel Bar Processing

Turning & Polishing Services

Outside-diameter machining and finishing used to remove scale, establish machining allowance, and improve size, roundness, and surface condition.

Turning & Polishing for Carbon & Alloy Steel Bar

Turning removes material from the outside diameter of hot-rolled or forged bar. The cut depth is selected to reach sound metal while leaving the required finish stock.

Polishing follows turning when the order calls for a smoother surface or tighter finish requirement. Finished diameter, tolerance, straightness, surface allowance, and defect-removal depth should be stated together.

Process Benefits

  • Scale and surface-defect removal
  • Controlled diameter and machining allowance
  • Improved roundness and surface condition
  • Less stock removal at final machining

Common Applications

  • Hydraulic cylinder rods
  • Shafts and axles
  • Bearing components
  • Precision-machined parts

The process route is determined by the starting grade and condition, section size, finished dimensions or mechanical properties, surface limits, testing, quantity, and governing specification.
