MANUFACTURING PROCESS

The high strength Grip-Bar® is made from cold drawn bar feedstock. It benefits from superior strength, whilst retaining the elevated ductility associated with stainless steel. Grip-Bar® is manufactured in 6m fully threaded lengths or by special order, with a bespoke thread on the ends of the bar. All the Grip-Bar® range of threaded products utilise the thread rolling principle, which benefits from not removing any material from the bar whilst generating the coarse thread. It is in principle a cold forging process, and hence the grain flow caused by this process improves the strength of the thread relative to that of a cut thread of the same size.
