Stainless Steel 316 round bar is a versatile, solid round bar made from 316-grade stainless steel, an austenitic alloy known for its high corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chloride-rich environments. It is commonly used in applications requiring durability and resistance to high temperatures, such as in the chemical, pharmaceutical, marine, and food processing industries. Key Features and Properties:
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance:The addition of molybdenum in 316 stainless steel significantly enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to 304 stainless steel.
- High Strength and Durability:316 stainless steel exhibits superior strength and durability, making it suitable for applications that require withstanding high temperatures and stresses.
- Easy to Machine and Weld:316 round bars are relatively easy to machine and weld, allowing for a wide range of applications and fabrication possibilities.
- Non-Magnetic:316 stainless steel is non-magnetic, making it suitable for applications where magnetism is a concern.
- High-Temperature Resistance:316 stainless steel maintains its strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for applications where heat is a factor.
- Versatile Applications:316 round bars are used in various industries, including chemical processing, marine, food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, for applications such as shafts, fasteners, fittings, and structural components.
- Available in Various Sizes and Finishes:316 round bars are available in a range of sizes and finishes, including cold-drawn, polished, and black.
- Food-Grade Compatibility:316 stainless steel is considered a sanitary and non-toxic alloy, making it suitable for use in food and beverage industries.
