Great value
I had been looking for 20mm carbon steel axles for a mini-forklift I am building for some time. For some reason all the pallet jack wheels I could find have 20mm axles and I needed to use those. I asked a friend and he immediately suggested Metals 'R' Us. I placed an order on a Sunday and had the material Wednesday. It fits perfectly! Now I have to spend a few days welding ...
Metals R Us helped our company out when in a jam. Product was easy to find, shipped promptly, and arrived as described. We will definitely be using Metals R Us in the future - highly recommended.
good delivery and aluminium ok
The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The material was exactly what i was looking for. I will be doing lots of business with them in the future.
Metal showed exactly as ordered
I couldn't find the product locally in Vancouver so when I searched online and came across Metals R Us had stock and was able to get it to me in 3 days from the other side of the country, i was pretty impressed. Thanks
Product arrived in good time , clean and undamaged Great service , thank you

I Needed some Hex steel for the students at my college. I could not find it any where. Phoned Metals R us and they had some. I express shipped it and the cut it for me for free. I will do work with them again. Thank you from the students at NLC that could buid there project!!!!
Good service. Thx
Good quality, well packaged, arrived without a scratch
great piece of copper
Nice clean piece of steel that was well wrapped for shipping
Good value for dollar, most places offering much thinner material for the same price. Was well packaged and shipped quickly. I will buy from here again, its actually easier that going to my local metal store who is so slow you can almost waste a morning there waiting! Time is $$, so plan ahead and order for those small jobs.
Order was processed and shipped quickly. Shipping was reasonable and the package arrived in a timely manner. Pieces were cut to length and deburred, ready to go. I don’t have a place where I can buy small order quantities.
Good prices, high quality and very fast delivery who could ask for more -certainly not me
Was as described and arrived in 3 days. It is hard to find a company that will sell small orders and this is appreciated thanks.
A1, great items cut at the right size. Would order again!
Arrived quickly and cut to length specified. Happy Customer.

Shipped on time, exact measurements and couldn’t be happier with the product and service
Best service, cut to order, so helpful. A joy to work with!
Good pricing, easy online ordering, hassle free on-time shipping. Definitely a positive trouble free experience!
Very simple to order various parts for a small project and know how much it would cost before commiting to it. I was able to quickly plan and build a small forge and have metal to forge.
great website, easy to navigate, found material that my larger supplier was no longer carrying. I will definitely be ordering again
Fast, quick, and easy. So easy to just order exactly what you need rather than arguing with someone at a welding shop on what they think you need
Great product. Exactly as described. They are very easy to deal with and shipping was very quick. I'm very happy. I brush the aluminum and then UV print on it. It worked very well.
Thanks to everyone at MRU. The brass flat bar and round bar I ordered is exactly what I needed. Excellent quality,service and price. The online site is easy to use.Much appreciated.

About our carbon steel
Welding a frame, a gate, or a trailer? 44W is the structural workhorse here: angle, channel, flat bar, and plate that weld clean. Machining pins, bushings, or shafts? 1018 cold finished is the default. 1045 wears harder, 4140 is the high-strength pick, and 1144 Stressproof machines fast and stays straight. We also stock 1026 DOM mechanical tube plus A53 and A106 pipe.
It's our deepest section: round, flat, square, and hex bar, angle, channel, sheet, plate, pipe, and mechanical, square, and rectangular tube, with galvanized and precision-ground options on some lines. Type your length in inches and we cut to ±1/8″. Big structural lift? Request a quote and we'll price it.
Which steel grade do you actually need?
Match the grade to what happens to the part. Welded frames, brackets, gates, and general fab want 44W: it's the structural standard and the biggest pile on our rack. Parts headed to a lathe or mill want 1018 cold finished, it machines clean and holds size. Shafts and pins that see real load step up to 1045, and 4140 when the job gets serious. 1144 Stressproof machines beautifully and stays straight after the cut. For tube and pipe: 1026 DOM where precision matters, A53 and A106 for pipe work. Comparing 1018, A36, and 1045? Our steel grades guide puts them side by side, including why Canadian racks stock 44W where US charts say A36. Working from a US or European drawing? Our grade decoder translates 44W, A36, and S275 with the real numbers.
Hot rolled or cold finished?
Hot rolled comes with mill scale and looser dimensions; cold finished is smooth, accurate, and a little stronger from the cold work. The rule at the counter: if you're welding it into a frame, hot rolled 44W is fine and costs less. If the bar becomes a shaft, slides through a bushing, or meets a tolerance, buy cold finished 1018 and skip the cleanup.
What does steel cost?
It's the cheap one, and short pieces prove it. As of June 2026, a 12″ piece of 1/8″ x 1/2″ 44W flat bar runs $5.30 CAD and a 1″ piece runs $3.65. The saw time carries the small cut; the steel itself is nearly free. Prices update daily. Round bar, angle, tube, sheet, and drill rod all price the same way: type the length, see the number. For the bigger picture, our June 2026 Canadian metal price guide lists 17 real cuts across every material we stock.
How do you keep it from rusting?
Don't store it wet, and coat whatever lives outside. Oil is enough for shop tools and jigs, paint or powder coat for anything in the weather, and around salt it needs real coverage on every face, cut ends included. If the part can't be maintained where it's going, that's the moment to buy stainless instead of repainting steel every spring.
