steel bar

Forged iron alloy

A steel bar is a solid length of steel, typically with a uniform cross-section—round, square, or flat.

Steel bars serve as raw material in construction and manufacturing, used for reinforcing concrete, forging tools, or machining into parts.

In weightlifting, the steel bar is the barbell shaft onto which plates are loaded: He loaded another twenty pounds onto the bar.
