The density of steel rods typically ranges from 7.85g/cm³ to 8.3g/cm³, depending on the type and composition of the steel. For example:
The density of ordinary carbon structural steel is about 7850kg/m³, which is 7.85g/cm³.
For some specific types of steel, such as high-speed steel containing 9% tungsten, the density can reach 8.3g/cm³.
The densities of 303 stainless steel and 12Cr18Ni9 steel rods are both 7.93g/cm³.
Different types of steel rods have slightly different densities. For example, the densities of low carbon steel, medium carbon steel and high carbon steel are about 7.85g/cm³, 7.82g/cm³ and 7.81g/cm³ respectively. The density of high-speed steel with the highest density, such as the version containing 18% tungsten, can reach 8.7g/cm³.
