The Function of AS Iron in Machine Construction and Metal Structures

Round bar (or AS steel / round bar / shafting bar) is an important material in the construction and machinery industries. Shaped like a round bar with high hardness and strength, AS steel is often chosen for its dimensional precision and resistance to heavy loads and machine rotation.

If you often see industrial machinery, automotive components, or metal frames—chances are that AS steel is working hard inside.

What Are the Functions of AS Steel?
1. As a Shaft in Industrial Machinery
AS steel is often used as a rotating shaft in various machines—from conveyors and factory machinery to food production machines.

Why is it suitable?
Because it is strong, stable, does not bend easily, and can withstand vibrations and high rotations.

2. Material for Making Machine Spare Parts
Many precision components are made from AS steel:

• Motor shafts
• Pins
• Special bolts
• Gear bases
• Bushings
• Rollers

Its compressive and tensile strength makes AS steel ideal for further processing with CNC, lathes, and milling.

3. Structural Elements in Metal Projects
In metal construction, AS steel is used as:

• Additional supports in steel frames
• Stiffeners in certain structures
• Reinforcement of connections between metal elements
• Although small, AS steel plays a crucial role in structural stability.

4. Material for Making Tools and Equipment
Common examples:

• Punch
• Industrial tooling
• Dies
• Heavy equipment handles

The material is impact and wear resistant, making it suitable for heavy industry needs.

5. Vehicle Components
AS steel is used in:

• Axles
• Suspension components
• High-strength hinges

Its durability and stability ensure safe vehicle performance.

Advantages of AS steel
✔ Diameter precision
✔ High tensile strength
✔ Wear resistance
✔ Suitable for turning and machining
✔ Versatile for various industries

Conclusion
AS steel is a vital material in the construction of machines and metal structures due to its strength, precision, and versatility. From machine shafts to construction components, AS steel provides the durability needed for heavy-duty, precision work.
