Engineering Black Bar FAQs

What is Black Bar in steel?

In steel, Black Bar is a bar of black steel, which is made from iron and alloy elements and has not been galvanised. This option is usually cheaper than Bright Steel, as there are no delays or additional processes that require reheating during the manufacturing process. Black Bar is widely used in the construction and welding trades for applications such as manufacturing Universal Beams and railroad tracks.

What is the difference between Bright and Black Steel?

The basic difference between Bright and Black Steel is that Bright Steel has been galvanised with a thin zinc layer, while black steel is made from an iron-alloy mix that is not galvanised. The Black Steel production process sees the steel rolled at a temperature usually higher than 927° C, which is above steel’s recrystallization temperature, allowing it to be formed and shaped with ease.

Our Engineering Black Bar is robust and durable and offers unbeatable value for money.

Is Black Steel stronger than steel?

Yes, black steel is stronger than carbon steel, making it best suited to applications in which durability and strength are essential. Carbon steel is suitable for applications that call for ease of machining and flexibility.

We take quality seriously. Whether you order Engineering Black Bar or other steel, contact our customer service team about a custom order, or require fast delivery, you are assured of the highest standards.

Does Black Steel rust?

Yes, black steel does rust. Not being galvanised means black steel has less protection against corrosion than bright steel.

Is Black Steel safe to weld?

Yes, black steel is safe to weld as it is not galvanised. However, you may need to pre-heat the material before welding it.

What is Black Steel used for?

Black steel is usually used in construction. This steel type is also used in applications such as aircraft parts, axles, ball bearings, gas and oil extraction, gears, hydraulic tools, landing gear, pins, shafts, spindles, springs, and sprockets.
