316L Stainless Steel Round Bars

316L Stainless Steel Round Bar manufactured from a strong corrosion-resistant material high on chromium content. It has excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. It has excellent toughness, even cryogenic temperatures, and it also offers higher creep, stress to rupture, and tensile strength at elevated temperatures.

They are strong corrosion-resistant material and high chromium content in the steel rods forms a layer of chromium oxide on the surface that protects staining and corrosion caused by steam, air, and water. 316L Stainless Steel Round Bar is the common austenitic stainless steel, they also come in billet form and generally includes a cross-section based on the shape of rod or bar stock.

316L stainless steel flat bar is easier to machine compared to 316 stainless steel due to its lower carbon content. They are broadly used for industrial tools, ornamental fence construction, structure construction, mechanical parts. Optimal hot working temperatures should be in the range 1150-1260 °C, and certainly should not be less than 930°C. A479 type 316L is the technical document that outlines the requirements for stainless steel hot/cold-finished bars.
