At Steelmet Industries, we understand that the smallest components often bear the biggest responsibilities. Our cold drawn steel bright bars form the foundation for high-performance bolts, screws, nuts, washers, and rivets that hold critical infrastructure together – from skyscrapers to spacecraft.
Why Precision Matters in Fastener Manufacturing
Modern fasteners must meet exacting standards:
✔ Consistent thread formation for perfect engagement
✔ Reliable tensile strength under dynamic loads
✔ Corrosion resistance for harsh environments
✔ Dimensional stability across temperature variations
Our bright bars deliver:
✓ Surface finish of 0.8-1.6μm Ra for smooth thread rolling
✓ Diameter tolerance of ±0.02mm for precision fits
✓ Hardness range of 22-32 HRC (ideal for cold forming)
✓ Custom diameters from 3mm to 120mm
