Bright steel is cold-drawn or cold-rolled mild steel with a smooth, accurate finish and closer dimensional tolerances than black steel. It is used where the surface finish, straightness or machinability matters: shafts, pins, spindles, frames, brackets and architectural metalwork. We stock bright round bar, flat bar, angle and square bar in standard lengths, with cutting service available for trade and fabrication customers.
