Barstock parts are components manufactured from raw, semi-finished metal or plastic stock, which are solid bars with a consistent cross-section like round, square, or hexagonal. These parts are created by machining the bar stock to the desired shape and dimensions, often used for high-precision components like valves, fittings, and pump parts etc.

Key characteristics

• Raw material: Bar stock parts are made from raw materials, most commonly metals like steel, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel, but also plastics.
• Shape: They originate from a bar with a consistent cross-section, with common shapes including round, square, rectangular, and hexagonal.
• Manufacturing: The final part is produced by shaping the bar through processes like machining to meet specific tolerances and surface finish requirements.
• Applications: They are used in a wide variety of applications, including plumbing fittings, valve components, and parts for machinery and other industrial equipment. 

Benefits

• Consistency: Using bar stock ensures uniformity in material composition and structure, which leads to consistent product quality.
• Precision: Machining from bar stock allows for the creation of high-precision components with tight tolerances and specific surface finishes.
• Versatility: A wide range of parts can be manufactured from different types of bar stock, from simple fittings to complex and critical components for heavy-duty applications.
