S31600 round bar

Likewise, very heat-resistant alloys may significantly increase susceptibility to corrosion at these higher temperatures
In fact, in most non-specialized environments or installations, it may be better to use lower grades of heat resistance such as 304, 304l, 316, and 347 stainless steel bar.

A sharp tool is required, and the correct speed and feed are very important – taking care to ensure the cut is deep enough to clear the surface is a must, as excessive contact can harden the material.

Stainless steel round bar, as the name suggests, is a product made of different grades of stainless steel material. Depending on the grade of stainless steel, they can be used in various industries. These round bars have high strength, and due to their high chromium content, they are effectively resistant to corrosion.

Stainless steel forged bars are harder and more durable. They are versatile and therefore available for a wide range of services.

Cold-drawn stainless steel bars are cold-finished, which means they are further processed after hot rolling. The hot-rolled and cold-drawn process helps improve bar dimensional tolerances, straightness, surface appearance, and overall physical properties. These SS bars are the most accurate compared to hot rolled bars. They have a smooth surface finish.

316 stainless steel round bars are ideal for most machining techniques and for indoor and outdoor applications. AISI 316 stainless steel is a non-magnetic, high-strength material with excellent corrosion resistance. 316 is slightly stronger than 303 and 304 stainless steel. Making it ideal for the food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in areas involving marine environments, aerospace, process equipment, chemicals or other aggressive substances.

Stainless steel round bars are also sometimes called bright bars or solid bars. Since it is made of stainless steel containing chromium, this product has excellent corrosion resistance. Those grades with higher alloy content have the added benefit of being highly resistant to acid, chlorine and alkaline solutions. These properties, combined with inherent strength and longevity, have helped make stainless steel round bars popular in industries such as transportation, construction, automotive, and petrochemicals.

Grade 304 – This is a standard “18/8” stainless steel with excellent forming and welding characteristics. 304L is a low carbon version of 304 and does not require post weld annealing. This makes it ideal for heavy components.

316 stainless steel round bar has a very wide range of industrial applications due to its unique performance characteristics, including excellent corrosion resistance and easy formability. Grade 316 stainless steel is differentiated by its molybdenum content, which supports its excellent resistance to oxidation. Grade 316L is a reduced carbon version of the standard Grade 316 and is recommended for applications requiring allergy resistance.

Grade 316L is a low carbon version of grade 316 stainless steel with increased resistance to surface corrosion and can be used in the same temperature range. It is also more commonly used in applications that require large size components to be welded. Although the 316/316L is widely considered the default choice for applications requiring marine grade products, it has reduced performance in warm salt water.

Grade 304 is essentially an all-purpose alloy, it is tough, has good corrosion resistance and is easy to machine. The alloy also has excellent welding properties. Stainless steel round bars are fairly versatile parts and can be used in a variety of applications.

This stainless steel round bar is an age-hardening martensitic stainless steel that combines high strength with the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Hardening is achieved by a short, simple low temperature treatment. Unlike conventional martensitic stainless steels.

This stainless steel round bar is very weldable. Strength, corrosion resistance and simplified manufacturing can make it a cost-effective alternative to high strength carbon steel and other stainless steel grades.

Stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation hardening stainless steel with high strength, good corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600¡ãF (316¡ãC), both in the base metal and in the weld Good toughness, along with short, low temperature heat treatment, minimizes warpage and fouling. This versatile material is widely used in the aerospace, chemical, petrochemical, food processing, paper and general metalworking industries.

316 is an austenitic chrome nickel steel with superior corrosion resistance to that of other chrome nickel steels.

Stainless steel round bars can be easily ordered in various sizes. Simply select the desired steel grade and we will supply bars in lengths from 500mm to 3m and diameters from 3mm to 50mm. We can even offer you an ordering option for metric or imperial measurements.
