Leading 316 stainless steel rod and bar Suppliers in China

CORROSION RESISTANCE:

316L Stainless steel rod

• Generally more resistant than 304 in range of atmospheric environments and many corrosive media due to the increased chromium
  and molybdenum content.
• Subject to pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments, and to stress corrosion cracking above about 122°F (50°C).
• Considered resistant to potable water with up to about 1000mg/L chlorides at ambient temperatures, reducing to about 500mg/L at
  140°F (60°C).
• Usually regarded as the “marine grade stainless steel” – but is not resistant to warm sea water.

HEAT RESISTANCE:

• Good oxidation resistance in intermittent service to 1600°F (870°C) and in continuous service to 1700°F (925°C)
• Grade 316L is more resistant to carbide precipitation.

WELDING CHARACTERISTICS:

• Excellent weldability by all standard fusion methods, both with and without filler metals.
• Heavy welded sections in Grade 316 require post-weld annealing for maximum corrosion resistance, this is not required for grade 316L.

HEAT TREATMENT:

• Annealing temperature range is 1900 to 2100°F (1038 to 1149°C).
• Cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
• Special consideration is needed to compensate for a higher coefficient of thermal expansion to avoid warping and distortion.

PROCESSING – HOT FORMING:

• Most producers recommend a maximum forging temperature between 2100°F and 2300°F
• Do not forge below 1700°F (927°C) Best
• Corrosion resistance is obtained if the forgings are given a final anneal.

PROCESSING – COLD FORMING:

• 316/316L Stainless steel rod types being extremely tough and ductile, can be readily cold worked such as roll form, swaging, cold heading, deep drawing,
  bent, etc., without difficulty
• Severely cold formed parts should be annealed to remove stresses.

MACHINEABILITY:

• Type 316/316L Stainless steel rod is somewhat more difficult to machine than Type 304 because of its toughness.
• 316/316L machines with chip characteristics that are tough and strong.
• Chip breakers and curlers are advised.
• As large a tool as possible and great amounts of cutting fluid should be used.
• Heavy positive feeds at low speeds should be considered since 316/316L work hardens rapidly.

316-316L-31603 grade stainless steel round bars

Stainless steel round bars are widely used. They are widely used in various fields from construction to automotive parts. Due to the wide range of uses, Daxun Alloys offers stainless steel round bars in various grades and sizes. With our free advanced cutting service, we can accurately meet your requirements every time.

Stainless steel round bars are available in a variety of grades. The most common grade 304 has easy weldability, good formability and corrosion resistance. Grade 316 has excellent corrosion resistance and is well suited to harsh environments such as salt water or highly industrialized areas. Like grade 304, it is also easy to weld, but it is more difficult to process. Finally, grade 303 is easier to process, drill and cut than other grades. However, it is less suitable for welding than grades 304 and 316.

Wide Range of Sizes to Choose From

Stainless steel round bars can be easily ordered in a wide range of sizes. Simply select the grade of steel you require and we will provide bars in lengths ranging from 500mm to 6 meters, and diameters ranging from 3mm to 500mm. We even give you the option of ordering in metric or imperial sizes.

If you want something that is not a standard size, that’s no problem. We offer unlimited free cuts to length. Using state-of-the-art bandsaws to ensure accuracy and repeatability, we can precisely meet your requirements every time. Just let us know when ordering.
