Everything You Need to Know About Stainless Steel Bright Bars

Stainless steel bright bars as the name suggests are shiny bright bars described as raw materials created from stainless steel alloys using a cold drawing technique in a cold reduction mill. It has an extremely smooth surface finish which gives it the name bright and has a precise geometric molecular structure. These bars have different chemical compositions depending on the grade and type of stainless used in making the bars. Stainless steel being the main component these bars also contain traces of the elements such as chromium, manganese, iron etc. along with varying addition of carbon.  Stainless steel bright bars have wide utility across industries due to its corrosion-resistant properties, durability and strength. These bars are highly preferred for precision machining components, and construction of large and sturdy structures because of the excellent weldability and machinability that these bars offer. 

Let’s have a look at the manufacturing process of the bright bars.

Black bar is the initial raw material obtained after melting the other components from which the bright bars are formed. Bright bars are created with a cold drawing process where these are cooled at room temperature. These are further subjected to fine finishing processes like annealing, turning, grinding, polishing etc. After the secondary processes, the final product has a closer dimensional tolerance. These bars have high susceptibility, concentricity and straightness along with a superior surface finishing. There are three main steps involved in the manufacturing of the stainless-steel bright bars: rolling raw materials, the drawing process and the final product.

Viraj is a renowned stainless steel bright bars manufacturer having a state of the art facility engaged in the production and export of a wide range of cold finished bright bars.

Bright bars are of different types such as round, hexagon, square and flat. Each type serves a different purpose and has various applications. Rectangular bright bars are in demand for manufacturing small machining components. Hexagonal bars are mainly used for making fasteners and threaded components while square bars are used for creating fences, trellis or railings in a building. Hexagonal bars are also used for forming parts of gas turbine engines.

Automobiles, Electric motor, Railways, Shaft making, Defense, Agriculture, Healthcare, Sports, Textile, Mining and many others are among the several industries that widely use stainless steel bright bars. These bars play multiple roles in various industries. The automobile industry treats the bars as raw material, the shipbuilding industry considers it as a semi-finished product while the interior designers take it as a finished product. Bright bars are used in heavy engineering industries, making engines and coaches for Railways, fabrication jobs, shafts in conveyors and the oil and petroleum sector.
