A bar is a standard mill product consisting of a solid piece of metal rolled or extruded to a uniform cross-section, typically round, square, or hexagonal. In industrial classification, it is distinguished from wire or sheet by its thickness and rigidity, generally having a minimum dimension of a quarter inch. It serves as the primary raw material for machining, forging, and structural frameworks.
