The material may have a black or hot-rolled mill finish, or a bright-drawn finish, depending on its size, grade and available stock. “Bright” describes the material’s surface or manufacturing condition; it is not a material grade.
The listed grades and conditions are not technically equivalent and may differ in mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, surface condition and suitability for particular applications.
Unless KI Metals provides written confirmation before ordering, this product is sold by its stated shape and dimensions. No particular material grade, mechanical property, surface condition, certification or traceability is guaranteed.
If a specific grade, standard, finish, certification, traceability or mechanical property is required, please contact KI Metals before placing your order and obtain written confirmation by email.
Telephone conversations, verbal discussions, customer order notes and drawing notes do not constitute written confirmation from KI Metals.
Surface Condition
May be supplied with a black or hot-rolled mill finish, or a bright-drawn finish, depending on size, grade and stock availability.
Normal production, storage, handling and cutting variations are not automatically evidence of a product defect. If appearance is critical, contact KI Metals before ordering.
Typical Applications

- General Metalwork
Design and Suitability
Product selection must not be based on dimensions alone. The required grade, loading, environment, connections, fabrication process and installation method should be specified or checked by a suitably qualified person where applicable.
KI Metals supplies material to the dimensions ordered but does not determine whether a particular item is suitable for the intended load, environment or application.
Cut to Your Required Length
Enter your required measurement in the Length box before adding the product to your basket. Material is cut to the ordered length with a standard cutting tolerance of ±3 mm.

Fabrication and Safety
Use tools, procedures and personal protective equipment suitable for the material, grade, finish and intended process. Control sharp swarf, cut edges, scale, dust and fumes.
Welding, heating, drilling, grinding, machining and forming requirements depend on the confirmed grade and intended service. Use a suitable qualified procedure where the work is structural or safety-critical.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a particular material grade guaranteed?
Only where KI Metals confirms the required grade in writing before the order is placed. Order notes, drawing notes and verbal discussions are not confirmation.
Can I request a grade or certificate in the order notes?
You may provide information in the order notes, but an order note does not constitute confirmation. Contact KI Metals before ordering and obtain written confirmation.
Can this item be cut to my required length?
Yes. Enter the required measurement in the Length box before adding the product to your basket. The standard cutting tolerance is ±3 mm unless confirmed otherwise.
Are the cut ends deburred?
No. This product is supplied as-cut and is not deburred. Cut ends and edges may be sharp and may contain burrs or loose swarf. Handle with care and use suitable protective equipment.
Can I add drilling or a surface finish?
Where available for the selected product and size, use the Optional Extras menu to choose the services currently offered. Powder coating and red oxide primer are planned future options and are not included unless displayed and selected, or confirmed separately in writing by KI Metals before ordering.
Is the material suitable for my project?
The customer is responsible for confirming material grade, dimensions, loading, environment, fabrication method and regulatory requirements. Structural or safety-critical selection should be checked by a suitably qualified person.
Safety Notice
This product is supplied as-cut and is not deburred. Cut edges may be sharp. Wear suitable protective gloves during handling, fabrication and installation.
Cut ends may also contain burrs or loose swarf. Do not run bare hands along cut edges. Use suitable eye protection and other appropriate personal protective equipment, and deburr or otherwise make exposed cut edges safe where required for the intended use.
