Merchant Bar Quality is a steel term that refers to a lower quality type of carbon steel. Merchant Bar Quality bars are produced to specific sizes with appropriate control of the chemical limits or mechanical properties for non-critical uses. These types of bars are generally used in structural type applications involving bending, forming, punching and welding. Merchant Bar Quality Rounds are used by fabricators and manufacturers to produce a wide variety of products including steel floor and roof joists, walkways, ornamental furniture, railings, dowels and concrete forms. The surface condition is not as critical as in a higher end types of material such as Special Bar Quality.
