Supply scope
Drawing-based tie rod and threaded-component supply.
We supply alloy steel bars and drawing-based semi-finished components for tie-rod and load-bearing threaded applications. Complete system design and installation are outside our supply scope.
Part Function
Tension bar and tie rod sourcing needs thread-route clarity
We supply alloy steel bars and drawing-based semi-finished components for tie rods and load-bearing threaded parts. The drawing should define tensile load, thread route, end connections, surface protection and inspection.
- Tie rod and threaded-component bars
- Drawing-based semi-finished rods and prepared ends
- Thread and mating-interface requirements
Material Choice
Common material routes for threaded and tension applications
Common starting routes include 42CrMo4 / 4140, 35CrMo and 40Cr, selected for the required strength, heat treatment, section and threading process. Project-specific grades can be reviewed from the drawing.
- 42CrMo4 / 4140 for higher-strength routes
- 35CrMo or 40Cr for drawing-matched routes
- Project-specific material with the required standard and condition
Production handoff
Bar preparation for threaded component production.
Available work can include heat treatment, long-bar preparation, machining or rolling, connection-end preparation and approved protective finishing.
- Heat treatment
- Long-bar preparation
- Machined or rolled thread route
- Connection-end preparation

RFQ checks
Common tie rod material questions.
Typical RFQs include drawings, grade or standard, supplied stage, thread details, surface protection, dimensions and inspection requirements.
Should buyers specify thread machining or thread rolling?
Yes. Thread machining and thread rolling have different preparation, allowance, and inspection implications. If the route is not decided, buyers should state the final part requirement so the route can be reviewed.
When is surface protection important for tension bars?
Surface protection should be discussed when the part is exposed to outdoor, marine, storage, or project-specific conditions. The RFQ should state coating, packing, destination, and document requirements if they apply.
Which documents are useful for load-bearing threaded parts?
Useful documents may include MTC, heat number traceability, dimensional inspection, mechanical or hardness verification if specified, coating or surface-protection records when applicable, and packing documents.
