Reliable UK suppliers of bright mild steel EN3B round bar
If you’re looking for a weldable material with good ductility, our bright mild steel EN3B round bars are the ideal option. They’re great for a variety of general applications thanks to their excellent machinability. Buying EN3B round bar from The Metal Store means you’ll benefit from free cutting and fast delivery across the UK.
EN3B grade round bars
EN3B is the standard for bright mild steel across the UK. It offers good machinability and weldability, making EN3B bright mild steel round bars are perfect for low-stress engineering applications and general machining. Granting accuracy and straightness in shape, they are ideal for projects that require well-defined edges and a clean surface finish.
Please note that bright mild steel round bars should not be used in applications where heavy stresses are involved. This type of round bar is particularly suitable for lightly stressed components – such as machinery parts, rollers, shafts and axles.
Bright mild steel properties
Looking at bright mild steel more generally, it’s a cold-rolled metal with greater control over dimensions and shape. Alongside a cleaner finish, this black mild steel can withstand higher pressure and tension compared to standard mild steel, though EN3B mild steel is suitable for applications that will not be heavily stressed.
Bright mild steel has better straightness for automatic bar-feeding, plus low carbon content and good malleability so it’s suitable for recycling and reworking.
