Products and Services
Corey Steel Company specializes in a diverse range of cold finished bars made from steel, brass, and aluminum. Their core offerings include cold drawn bars, produced by drawing hot rolled material through a die, resulting in products with precise tolerances for diameter, concentricity, straightness, length, and surface finish, in compliance with ASTM A108.
