Mild Steel Pipe Black

Black Mild Steel Pipe is a commercial-quality tubular pipe made from black mild steel, known for its strength, durability, and versatility. This type of pipe is produced by forming steel billets into sheet metal, then passing the sheets through rollers while the steel is above its recrystallisation temperature to achieve the desired dimensions. Multiple passes through the rollers may be required for precision sizing. The resulting “black” finish comes from the oxidation layer formed during this process, giving the steel its characteristic dark appearance.

At Buy Metal Online, we offer high-quality black mild steel pipes in various sizes to suit your needs.
