What it is

    Cold-finished bar among the published products. Recorded against drawing rather than cold rolling on purpose: cold FINISHING of bar is drawing, turning and grinding to size and surface, not flat rolling. The specific finishing route is not published. Ask which it is, because it changes the surface and the residual stress state.
