New High-Strength As-Hot-Rolled and Cold-Drawn Bar Products

A new series of high-strength, low-alloy bar products has been developed that provides the design engineer with steels having minimum yield strengths of 80, 90 and 100 ksi in the as-hot-rolled condition and 110 to 150 ksi minimum yield strengths in the cold-drawn or cold-drawn, stress-relieved condition. The potential benefits of these products include energy savings, cost savings and weight reduction.
