SBQ (Special Bar Quality) Steel Industry Research Report 2023

SBQ (Special Bar Quality) Steel Industry Research Report 2023

Special bar quality (SBQ) steel is the steel which is used for a class of long products engineered for very tough application. The higher the load of application, the more special is the SBQ steel. The term ‘special bar quality’ is a term predominantly being used in North American steel industry. In Europe, SBQ steels are normally known as ‘engineering steels’. Both of these terms refer to steel types as well as to bar products, and as they are frequently with associated with the steel grades and they refer to billet and slab as well as bar. The SBQ steel term is used to describe steel long products having properties for more demanding processing or end-use applications which cannot be met by merchant bar quality (MBQ) steel grades. SBQ steels represent a wide variety of higher quality plain carbon and alloy steel bars, which are developed for challenging and high stress applications. These steels stand out different and tall among a diversity of grades which are in use in various demanding processes. SBQ steels, which are being offered today by the manufacturers, are in the form of stainless steel bar, steel round bar, tubes and other products of high demand and of relevance in the manufacturing sector. These steels are mostly used for application in hot and cold forging, machining, and cold drawing industries for the production of automotive parts, bearings, gears, hand tools, electric motor shafts, valves, and other vital products which are to be resistant to the metal fatigue through prolonged and continuous use as moving parts in machineries / automobiles. The specification of SBQ steels can range from plain carbon and carbon-manganese steels to alloy and stainless steels containing different percentages of aluminum, nickel, chromium and other alloying elements. The chemistry of these steels is more complex than MBQ steels. These steels can have several grades. SBQ steels can have products of shapes which can be classified into round, flat, square, and hexagonal bars. The products can be in the form of hot rolled steel bars, or cold finished steel bars.
