DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLACK STEEL BARS AND BRIGHT STEEL BARS
Black steel bars and bright steel bars are both commonly used in construction and manufacturing, but they have distinct differences in terms of their properties and applications.
Black steel bars are made from hot rolled steel and have a dark, matte finish. They are known for their strength and durability, and are often used in construction and other industrial applications.
Bright steel bars, on the other hand, are made from cold drawn steel and have a shiny, polished finish. They are known for their precision and accuracy in terms of dimension and are commonly used in the production of precision components such as gears, shafts, and bearings. They are also used in the manufacturing of cutting tools and molds. They are known for their excellent tensile strength and are often used in applications where precision and accuracy are required, such as in the manufacturing of gears, shafts, and other precision parts. They are also commonly used in the construction of machinery and equipment, as well as in the aerospace and automotive industries.
In terms of cost, black steel bars are less expensive than bright steel bars due to their simpler manufacturing process. Bright steel bars are more expensive as black bars are cold drawn to make bright bars.
BLACK STEEL BARS
Black Steel Bars are produced in a rolling mill by heating raw material such as billet, blooms, etc at a temperature around 1200 C through a number of rolls to achieve the desired shape and size. Some of the shapes are rounds, hexagons, flats, bars, etc. Due to the nature of the process and temperatures involved, precise control of tolerances that can be achieved in bright bars cannot be achieved in black steel bars. Therefore they are further processed to make steel bright bars for processes that require more precise accuracies. Therefore black steel bars are less expensive than bright bars.
BRIGHT STEEL BARS
Bright Steel Bars are produced from black bars by passing through dies in a cold condition or by turning the bars in a peeling machine and some other processes. They are used where specific tolerance are required such as for use in CNC machines, etc. Some times heat treatment such as annealing is done before cold finishing.
There are five main type of different processes to achieve the desired sizes.
- DRAWING
The black steel bars are drawn through dies of the required shape. The raw material is chosen depending on the shape to be drawn. This increases the yield strength and tensile strength. This also eliminates a number of surface imperfections caused due to the rolling process.
- PEELING
The black bars are turned to the desired sizes. This process eliminates all surface imperfections. But internal imperfections if any are exposed. This process does not increase the tensile strength of the bars
- GRINDING
The grinding process is used to narrow the tolerances and improve the surface finishes of the above two processes
- POLISHING
The polishing process improves the surface finish of the bars
- COLD ROLLING
Cold Rolling is typically used to produce complex shapes.
