Our material is the preferred choice over steel, castings and aluminum for many applications in a wide variety of industries.
Engineered to excel
Dura-Bar, a division of Charter Dura-Bar, is the world leader in the production, technology and application of continuous cast iron bar stock. Dura-Bar has been made with the manufacturer in mind since 1961. Engineered to machine fast and consistently, it is not only the finest cast iron in the world, but an ideal alternative to many grades of steel, iron castings and aluminum.
Dura-Bar continually strives to meet and exceed customer requirements. Obtaining certifications and conforming to the highest of industry standards helps us reach that goal. We are dedicated to maintaining strong employee, customer, and community relationships, and our Ethics and Values and environmental consciousness support that dedication.
Dura-Bar is stocked in several grades of ductile and gray iron, as well as additional non-stock grades which can be ordered in volume quantities from our distributors. The type and distribution of graphite influences most of the properties and results in the free machining characteristics, excellent noise and vibration damping, thermal conductivity and wear resistance.
