Steel Bars

Special Quality
 Introduction
In the continuing development of the automobile, electrical and industrial
machinery, and related parts manufacturing industries, products of high-
er quality and higher performance are more than ever being pursued.
Special steel bars produced by Nippon Steel have been extensive-
ly applied in such operations as hot forging, cold heading, machining
and cold-finishing, and have won a high reputation among users.
Nippon Steel is making efforts to improve still further the quality
of its special bars by means of advanced production technology, up-to-
date facilities and the companys many years of production experience.

Features

1 Sound, Uniform Internal Quality and

Excellent Heat Treatability
High-purity steel is made in an integrated blast furnace / basic oxy-
gen furnace process, using selected raw materials.
Nonmetallic inclusions are nearly eliminated by degassing and
ladle-refining processes and ultrasonic flaw detection.
Segregation is reduced by use of a continuous casting facility
incorporating electromagnetic stirring.

2 Excellent Surface Quality

Excellent surface quality, exactly suited to each application, is
achieved through quality control and use of the latest inspection sys-
tems, such as magnaflux flaw detection and eddy-current inspection.

3 Superior Shape and Dimensional Accuracy

Use of the V-H rolling process and a modified cooling bed that caus-
es less bending yields products of superior cross-sectional shape,
dimensional accuracy and straightness.

4 Wide Variety of Product Sizes

and Steel Grades
Size range: 19 120 mm in diameter for round bars
42 162 mm in section dimensions for square bars
Steel grades: carbon steel, boron steel, alloy steel, free-cutting steel

Steel Bars That Eliminate Secondary Processing
The following products have been developed with the aim of rationalizing secondary
processing by elimination of quenching and tempering after hot forging, reduction of
heat-treatment costs through reduction of carburizing time for gears, and elimination of
peeling and drawing before hot or cold forging.
These products help reduce energy and labor costs and contribute to other cost-
cutting effects such as reduced inventory expenses due to elimination of secondary
processing.
