Welcome to Tariku Metals, your trusted partner in Addis Ababa for dependable steel solutions. We take pride in manufacturing and supplying high-quality materials right here in the heart of Ethiopia, focusing on precision and reliability. Our SAE 1015 round bar and rod are produced to meet exacting standards, ensuring you receive a product that forms the backbone of countless projects. We understand the importance of a strong foundation, which is why our commitment to local production means consistent quality and support for your engineering and manufacturing needs.
The SAE 1015 grade is a low-carbon steel known for its excellent machinability and good ductility. Its composition is straightforward, primarily iron with about 0.15% carbon, along with manganese and trace elements. This simple mix gives it a balanced set of mechanical properties; it’s relatively soft and formable, making it easy to weld, bend, and cut without specialist equipment. While it isn’t hardened to high strength levels, it offers reliable toughness for a wide range of non-critical structural parts where formability is more important than ultimate strength.

SAE 1015 round bars are typically sized by their diameter, ranging from small diameters like 1/4 inch to larger sizes up to 12 inches or more, depending on customer specifications.
SAE 1015 bars and rods are available in various forms including cold-finished, hot-rolled, polished, and precision ground. They are used for machining, manufacturing, and engineering applications, offering excellent strength and flexibility.
Yes, laser welding can be used for SAE 1015 bar. It offers precise control, low heat input, and minimal distortion, making it suitable for joining this low-carbon steel material.
You’ll find our SAE 1015 round bars and rods are incredibly versatile, serving as fundamental components across many industries. They are often chosen for making bolts, studs, pins, and a variety of shafts where high strength isn’t the primary concern. In workshops and factories, this material is perfect for crafting fixtures, jigs, and other custom tooling. It’s also widely used in the automotive sector for certain brackets and linkages. Essentially, anytime you need a readily workable, dependable steel for forming or machining general parts, SAE 1015 is an excellent and economical choice.
