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
Love to buy from you; I want to buy my stock from Canada.

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 chrome
Chrome round bar is 1045 steel with a hard chrome surface: what you buy for hydraulic cylinder rods, guide shafts, and rollers. The chrome takes the wear and protects the seals; the steel core takes the load.
It's all round bar, in the common rod and shaft diameters, cut to the inch you need. Repairing a cylinder? Measure the rod diameter, not the bore, and call 902-468-1112 if you want a second opinion before ordering.
What is induction-hardened chrome bar?
Shafting, ready to run. It starts as 1045 steel round bar, gets induction-hardened so the skin resists wear, then chrome-plated so seals glide and the surface holds up. Hard outside, tough steel core inside. If you're rebuilding a hydraulic cylinder rod, making a linear shaft, or replacing a wear pin, this is the bar made for it.
Chrome rod or stainless rod?
Pick by enemy. If the enemy is wear, seals, and abrasion, chrome wins: that's its whole design. If the enemy is corrosion, salt spray on deck hardware, washdown chemistry, buy stainless round bar instead. A chrome rod's working surface shrugs off weather in service, but it's still a steel bar underneath: treat cut ends and keyways like carbon steel, because they'll rust if you don't.
Can you cut and machine it?
We cut it to your length on our saws, to ±1/8″, free, up to 96″ online. Machining is where the hardened skin earns respect: it's tough on ordinary tooling, so plan for carbide if you're turning or threading the ends. Or ask us about the job first and we'll tell you straight what it needs.
What does it cost?
As of June 2026, a 12″ piece of 1/2″ induction-hardened chrome bar runs $16.65 CAD. Sizes step up from there: 5/8″ at $20.35, 3/4″ at $21.41, and on up. Prices update daily. Type your length in inches and the price shows before you commit; lengths past 96″ move by quote, up to 21 ft.
