Merchant Bars
Merchant bars are the versatile backbone of construction and fabrication — from angles and flats to rounds, squares, and channels. Produced to international standards and tailored for strength, weldability, and durability.
Strength in Every Shape, Reliability in Every Bar.

Typical Ranges:
● Carbon %: 0.15 – 0.45
● Manganese %: 0.60 – 1.60
● Silicon %: 0.15 – 0.35
● Phosphorus %: ≤ 0.035
● Sulphur %: ≤ 0.035
Higher carbon grades like M1044 or SAE 1040 are used where greater strength is required; low carbon grades are for forming and welding applications.

● Loading & Shipping:
○ Breakbulk shipping: Bundles loaded directly into vessel holds, stacked with wooden dunnage.
○ Container shipping: 20’ or 40’ containers, max ~25 tons per container.
○ Securing: Wooden wedges, steel chains, or wire ropes to prevent shifting during sea transport.
● Compliance:
○ Packaging follows ISPM‑15 (fumigation for wooden dunnage).
○ Export documentation may include photographic proof of loading & securing for client assurance.
