Decorative / Shafting Steel bars

Shafts are the steel round bars which are otherwise assured for the highest level of accuracy and precision in dimensions.

Only fewer stainless steel round bar manufacturers have developed the ability to manufacture these with utmost accuracy and finish; because the manufacture of these requires induction hardening process, which is a non-contact technique.

It involves placing the rods in the strong electromagnetic field to heat it and then it is plunged in water, oil or specific polymer after which hardening is achieved.

The uses of these include the motor and pump shafts, drive shafts and brush bearings among others. In most such applications, the straightness of the shaft is a demanded attribute because it moves at high speed!
