Stainless Steel 316L Hex Bar/Rod is a low-carbon variant of 316 stainless steel, made up of chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), molybdenum (2–3%), and a carbon content that doesn’t exceed 0.03%. This lower carbon content boosts resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding. The alloy boasts impressive mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of about 70 ksi (485 MPa), a yield strength of around 25 ksi (170 MPa), and an elongation of nearly 40%. With outstanding corrosion resistance in both marine and chemical environments, 316L remains stable at high and low temperatures while also offering excellent formability and machinability.

SS 316L Hex Bars/Rods offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, including pitting and crevice corrosion caused by chlorides, due to their chromium and molybdenum content. Their low carbon levels prevent sensitization, ensuring durability in marine and chemical environments.
SS 316L Hex Bars/Rods are used in marine, chemical processing, food, pharmaceutical, and oil and gas industries. Their superior corrosion resistance enhances longevity and performance, particularly in environments exposed to chlorides, acids, alkalis, and high-moisture conditions.
Yes, SS 316L Hex Bars/Rods are easily welded and machined due to their low carbon content. However, precautions include using appropriate tools to avoid work hardening, maintaining low heat input during welding, and employing post-weld cleaning to prevent contamination.
Stainless steel 316L hex bars/rods are widely used in various industries due to excellent corrosion resistance, strength and versatility They are commonly used in marine environments for shafts, fasteners and other components, because it resists corrosion by chloride. Used for equipment exposed to strong acids and bases in the chemical industry. The clean and corrosion-resistant properties of these fibers also find applications in the food and beverage industry. In addition, SS 316L Hex Bars are a staple in the chemical, oil and gas industry for structural precision parts.
