Steel self colour fixings are a widely used fastening solution for applications where strength, reliability and cost effectiveness are the primary requirements. At Duchy Fasteners, a comprehensive range of steel fixings is held in stock to support construction, engineering, fabrication and maintenance projects across Cornwall and throughout the UK.

What Are Steel Self Colour Fixings?

Steel self colour fixings are manufactured from carbon steel and supplied without additional surface coatings such as galvanising or plating. The term self colour refers to the natural steel finish, which offers strong mechanical performance without added corrosion protection.


These fixings are commonly used in controlled environments where exposure to moisture and corrosive conditions is limited. Their simplicity and strength make them a practical choice for internal applications, temporary assemblies and situations where corrosion resistance is not a priority.


Steel self colour fastenings are often selected for their availability, versatility and dependable performance across a wide range of general purpose uses.

Typical Uses for Steel Self Colour Fastenings

Steel self colour fixings are commonly used in applications where high strength is required but environmental exposure is minimal. They are frequently specified for internal construction, workshop fabrication, machinery assembly and temporary installations.


Because they do not include corrosion resistant coatings, steel self colour fastenings are best suited to dry indoor environments or applications where components are protected from moisture.


They are also widely used in manufacturing and engineering settings where fixings may be replaced or adjusted regularly and long term corrosion resistance is not essential.

Strength and Mechanical Performance

Carbon steel fixings offer excellent mechanical strength, making steel self colour fastenings suitable for a wide range of load bearing and structural applications when specified correctly.


These fixings provide strong thread engagement and resistance to shear and tensile forces. Their performance makes them a reliable choice for applications where mechanical integrity is more important than environmental protection.


Correct selection of size and grade is essential to ensure safety and durability, particularly in assemblies subject to vibration or load.

Corrosion Considerations

Steel self colour fixings do not include protective coatings, meaning they are more susceptible to corrosion if exposed to moisture or harsh environments. For this reason, they are typically used indoors or in dry conditions.


Where corrosion resistance is required, alternative options such as galvanised or stainless steel fixings may be more suitable. Steel self colour fastenings remain a practical and cost effective solution where environmental exposure is controlled.
