High Strength Steel Bars

Steel round bars for motorsport

Our round bar steel stock is one of our frequently purchased stock lines, and we have availability in all the steel performance grades we supply.


We offer high-strength solid round steel bars, including a selection of maraging and gear steels. Our stock range is designed to enhance performance.

International Coverage:

We have a dedicated technical team with the ability to converse with you in German, French and Italian if required. We have representatives based in Germany, Austria and France and will soon offer representation in the United States. We provide rapid response times for motorsport customers, both domestically and internationally.

Processing:

We offer bar cutting and billeting services from our processing plant at Biggleswade. Our Group processes more than 2 million billets per annum, so if you are looking for round bar products to cut into manageable billets, then this service is for you. Alternatively, we offer a standard round bar cutting service where we cut bars to specific lengths for you. Either way, we are a one-stop-shop for all your steel stock requirements.

Suitability:

Steel round bars are suitable for motorsport applications where strength is paramount. Bearing, gears and engine components in motorsport utilise steel as an engineering raw material. However, in many instances, steel is replaced in favour of less dense materials such as aluminium, magnesium and titanium, to keep car weight to a minimum.
