Name: Twisted Black Steel Square Bar
SKU: 1089919

This is an A36 Black Steel 1/2'' x 1/2’’ x 20' Hot Rolled Twisted Bar.

A 5/8" thick twisted steel bar is twisted from a 1/2" thick solid square bar into a spiral shape with a diameter of 5/8" and a thickness of 5/8". The original bar used to create the twisted bar was a solid square bar with a thickness of 1/2". The twisting process involves heating the steel bar to a high temperature and then using a twisting machine to spiral the bar into the desired shape.

The resulting twisted steel bar is stronger and more durable than the original solid square bar, due to the increased surface area created by the twisting process. It is commonly used as a reinforcing bar in concrete structures such as buildings, bridges, and roads, where it provides added strength and stability. It can also be used in the manufacturing of various industrial products, such as fences, gates, and furniture. The twisted steel bar may be coated with a protective layer to prevent corrosion and extend its lifespan.

A36 is the most common type of steel plate used in construction because of its ratio of strength to ductility, but it shows up in a wide range of industries due to its broad versatility. This grade is easily machined, welded, and formed, making it a versatile all-purpose steel. It is fairly ductile and can elongate to about 20% of its original length when testing its tensile strength. The combination of strength and ductility means it has excellent impact strength at room temperature. Because of its low carbon content, it can be heat treated without adverse effects on its properties. One disadvantage to A36 steel is that it does not have high corrosion resistance due to its low levels of nickel and chromium.

Hot Rolled Commercial quality sheets Produced from low carbon steel and intended for uses involving simple bending or moderate drawing and welding. A wide variety of applications from agriculture implements to automotive equipment from blower and ventilating systems to hot air registers, from stub barrels and drums to bind and partitions.
