Standard Cold Drawn Steel Bar & Wire Profiles
Precision Kidd produces cold drawn steel bar and wire products in a several standard profiles — rounds, squares, hexagons/octagons, flats/rectangles — in a full range of English and Metric Sizes.
These standard shapes can be produced as bar or wire in a wide variety of steel grades including: Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Tool Steel, High Speed Steel and Stainless Steel. In addition, these standard shapes can be supplied in custom sizes with special tolerances, finishes and mechanical properties. Precision Kidd can surface improve many of these products to provide elevated surface qualities, such as: “Seam Free” and “Decarb Free,” as well as NDT tested for surface discontinuities.
