1020 Round Bars | AISI / SAE 1020 Carbon Steel Round Bar Supplier & Manufacturer
1020 round bars are among the most commonly used low-carbon steel bars in engineering, manufacturing, and fabrication industries. Known for their excellent machinability, good weldability, and balanced strength, these bars are ideal for applications that require reliability without the higher cost of alloy steels.
We supply and manufacture 1020 steel round bars in hot-rolled, cold-drawn, bright, annealed, and forged conditions. With consistent quality control and industry-standard testing, our AISI 1020 carbon steel round bars meet both national and international specifications.
What Are 1020 Round Bars?
1020 round bars are produced from low-carbon steel containing around 0.20% carbon, making them soft, ductile, and easy to work with. They are commonly supplied under different standards, such as:
- AISI 1020 Round Bar
- SAE 1020 Round Bar
- Carbon Steel SAE 1020 Round Bar
- DIN 1.0402 Annealed Round Bar
- C20 Carbon Steel Round Bar
Because of their versatility, 1020 steel rods are widely used for shafts, pins, bolts, studs, and general engineering components.
SAE 1020 Annealed and Cold-Drawn Round Bars Forms & Finishes Available
We supply 1020 carbon steel bars in multiple forms to suit different industry requirements:
1020 Steel Round Bar
- Used in shafts, rollers, and mechanical components
- Available in hot-rolled and cold-drawn conditions
1020 Bright CS Flat Bar
- Smooth surface and tight tolerance
- Ideal for precision machining
SAE 1020 Square Bar
- Commonly used in frames and structural fabrication
1020 Cold Drawn Bar / Hex Bar
- Better strength and dimensional accuracy
- Suitable for fasteners and machine parts
1020 Hot Rolled Steel Bar
- Economical option for heavy fabrication
DIN 1.0402 Annealed Round Bar
- Softened for bending, forming, and machining
Cold Drawn vs Hot Rolled 1020 Steel Bars
1020 Cold Drawn Bar
- Better surface finish
- Higher dimensional accuracy
- Slightly higher strength
1020 Hot Rolled Steel Bar
- Lower cost
- Rough surface
- Suitable for welding and fabrication
Choosing the right form depends on machining needs, finish requirements, and budget.
1020 Round Bars Quality Control & Testing
Every AISI 1020 carbon steel round bar undergoes strict quality checks:
- Chemical analysis
- Mechanical testing
- Dimensional inspection
- Surface quality checks
- Mill Test Certificate (MTC)
As an experienced supplier of AISI 1020 bright bar, quality and consistency are always prioritised.
