Inox Steel India is a reliable manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of Carbon Steel Bright Bars in grades EN8, EN9, and C45, supplying precision-engineered bright bars to machining units, OEMs, automotive manufacturers, and engineering industries across India, GCC, Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
Our carbon steel bright bars are produced through controlled cold drawing, peeling, polishing, and centerless grinding processes, delivering tight dimensional tolerances, smooth surface finish, and consistent mechanical strength. These properties make them ideal for components subjected to dynamic loads, machining accuracy, and repeatable production cycles.
Carbon Steel Bright Bars are cold-finished bars manufactured from hot-rolled carbon steel rods, further processed to improve surface quality, straightness, and dimensional accuracy.
This process ensures carbon steel bright bars that offer excellent machinability, predictable strength, and reduced tool wear, especially important for CNC and mass-production environments.
Medium carbon steel offering a balance of strength and machinability. Widely used in shafts, studs, bolts, and general engineering parts.
Higher carbon content providing improved hardness and wear resistance. Preferred for gears, axles, and high-load components.
Internationally recognized medium carbon steel with good toughness and heat treatment capability, commonly used in automotive and machinery parts.
Each grade is supplied with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certification, ensuring full material traceability and compliance with international standards.
Shafts, studs, tie rods, bolts, pins, couplings, hydraulic components.
Gears, axles, crankshafts, heavy-duty shafts, forged components.
Automotive parts, spindles, machine components, mechanical shafts.

HSN Code (India): 7228
HS Code (Export): 7228.30 / 7228.40 (form dependent)
| Industry | Typical Components | Preferred Grades |
| Machining & CNC | Shafts, pins, bushings | EN8, C45 |
| Automotive | Axles, spindles, crankshafts | EN9, C45 |
| Fasteners & Hardware | Bolts, studs, tie rods | EN8 |
| Engineering & Fabrication | Couplings, machine parts | EN8, C45 |
| Heavy Equipment | Gears, load-bearing shafts | EN9 |
EN9 has higher carbon content than EN8, providing greater hardness and wear resistance for heavy-duty applications. C45 is closer to EN8 in composition but offers slightly higher strength and is widely accepted in international standards. Yes, EN8, EN9, and C45 bright bars can be annealed, normalized, or quenched & tempered. The standard HSN code is 7228 for carbon and alloy steel bars. Yes, we supply custom cut lengths as per drawing and tolerance requirements. What is the difference between EN8 and EN9 bright bars?
