About Threaded Rod - Metric Mild Steel in Self-Colour
Metric Threaded Rod is available in various grades, lengths and finishes including brass, zinc-plated and stainless steel; they are essentially a metal bar made from mild steel or brass that has a helical thread all the way along its length. Metric Threaded Rods are manufactured to be installed in areas where they are subjected to high levels of tension and pressure.
Steel products described as having a self-colour finish are best suited to internal applications, as they have no additional protection against corrosion. The shade of a self-colour finish can vary from bright metal to black, and it will change over time with oxidisation.
If you plan to use self-colour finishes outdoors you should paint them to give them a protective coating.
