316 Stainless Steel Round Bar

Additionally, it falls within the pressure vessel category of the A479 standard. The bars are available for bespoke orders cut to length and range from 1 to 6 meters. Although they have distinct structures, SS 316 bars and rods have the same chemical makeup. The bar has a homogeneous cross-section that is smaller than its length and is solid, stiff, and rigid. It has a level exterior.

The round bar sizes are available in 18mm to 57mm and are stronger due to their geometric design. For these goods, the maximum hardness is 217BNH. Compared to Grade 304, the 316 stainless steel round bar has greater corrosion resistance due to its molybdenum concentration. There are many industrial applications for stainless steel round bars in grade 316. The petrochemical industry, the oil and gas industry, industrial chemistry, the electricity sector, the energy sector, pharmaceuticals, the paper and pulp sector, the food processing sector, the aviation sector, and the refining sector are a few of them.

Additionally, Grade 316 round bar has excellent welding qualities. When welding narrow parts, post-weld annealing is not necessary. The low-carbon variant of grade 316 is resistant to sensitisation. Because of this, it is frequently utilised in heavy gauge welded components. High temperatures can be used for grade 316H, which has a larger carbon content and stabilised grade 316Ti. These grades have high toughness, even at cryogenic temperatures, thanks to the austenitic structure. The mechanical tube known as 316 Stainless Steel Hollow Bars is mostly utilised in machining and mechanical applications. They can endure high temperatures and have exceptional strength and durability. Furthermore, they have good corrosion resistance. Industries may also find similar characteristics in the AISI 316 Annealed Stainless-Steel Bars. However, those bars are superior at resisting corrosion. The annealing procedure is the cause of this. However, compared to 316 ss round bars, it has less strength.
