The Construction, agricultural and heavy equipment industries exist because of the high-quality steel bar products produced by the hot rolled mills in the United States. Eaton Steel Bar Company (ESBC) maintains thousands of tons of inventory of hot rolled and cold drawn steel bar products up to 16 diameter in grades such as 1045, 1541, 8620, 4140, 4140 Q&T, 4140 LPA, 4340 AQ, and 4340 QT. These bars are used to forge or machine components for off-road construction and heavy equipment, as well as a large variety of agriculture tractors and implements.
Eaton Steel also provides custom inventory programs supplying OEMs with steel bar products, J.I.T. to the manufacturing facilities. This type of equipment often requires materials that are surface or ultrasonically inspected — both of which ESBC can provide. Below is a list of products, typically produced out of Eaton Steel Bars.
