Straight vs. Rounded Corners Bar Stock
(OP)
What drives Mills to produce bar stock with or with out Rounded Corners, today I bought inspec material, but the corners were rounded and my finished parts will not be in spec? Anyone know why they do that? (Ti Bar)

I hope it wasn't too expensive of a lesson. With titanium, it could be rather expensive.

As Redpicker mentioned, RCS billets are normally used for re-rolling to insure against the formation of cracks in the corners. Since you didn't specify the size or geometry of the finished bar you are working with and what your specific requirements are, it's difficult for us to say why you have this issue.
