Black Stainless Steel Rod

Surface-Treated Decorative Stainless Steel

Black stainless steel rod is a surface-treated stainless steel product. Using vacuum plating (PVD) or electrophoretic coating technology, the stainless steel surface is finished in deep black while retaining stainless steel’s corrosion resistance.

  • High Strength

    Hot-rolled rods have 10–15% higher tensile strength than cold-drawn rods (304 black rod ≥520MPa), suitable for load-bearing structures.

  • Cost-Effective

    Eliminates cold-drawing and bright finish processes; 15–20% lower cost than bright rods of same size.

  • Machining Adaptability

    Black surface allows material reserve for machining, directly suitable for turning, drilling, improving efficiency by 30%.

Product Applications

  • Mechanical Shafts

    Heavy machinery uses 50mm 304 black rods for shafts, tensile strength 550MPa, lifespan twice that of carbon steel rods.

  • Building Embedded Components

    High-rise steel structures use 80mm 430 black rods, 30% lower cost than 304, meets dry-environment structural requirements.

  • Equipment Parts

    Chemical equipment supports use 30mm 316L black rods, resistant to acids and alkalis, no rust in 5 years.

FAQ

What is black stainless steel rod?

It is a stainless steel rod with a blackened surface finish, achieved through heat treatment or surface processing.

What are typical applications of black stainless steel rods?

Common uses include architectural elements, decorative hardware, and industrial components requiring a dark finish.

Does the black surface affect corrosion resistance?

The core material retains stainless steel corrosion resistance; surface treatment type determines durability.

What grades are available for black stainless steel rods?

Common base grades include 304, 316, and other stainless steel alloys upon request.

Can black stainless steel rods be customized in diameter and length?

Yes. Custom diameters, lengths, and surface treatments are available.
