Product Description

Stainless Steel Hexagonal Bar Overview

A stainless steel hexagonal bar is a long, solid bar featuring a hexagonal cross-section. Owing to its excellent mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties, this material is widely utilized in marine, chemical, construction, and various industrial applications.

Stainless steel rods are available in multiple shapes, including round, hexagonal, square, flat, and solid types. The bright-finished bars are typically more expensive than black-finished ones due to their superior surface quality. Among these, 303 stainless steel is known for its exceptional machinability and is primarily used for automatic lathe cutting. Other free-machining grades include 304F, 303CU, and 316F.

Common Material Grades and Properties

1) 316L Stainless Steel Hexagonal Bar

  • Features: Excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and good weldability.

2) 316 Stainless Steel Hexagonal Bar

  • Features: Contains molybdenum and low carbon, providing superior pitting resistance in marine and chemical environments.

  • Offers outstanding intergranular corrosion resistance after welding or stress relief, maintaining stability without heat treatment.

3) 304L Stainless Steel Hexagonal Bar

  • Features: A low-carbon variant of 304 stainless steel, ideal for welded applications.

  • The reduced carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation in heat-affected zones, preventing intergranular corrosion near welds.

4) 304 Stainless Steel Hexagonal Bar

  • Features: A versatile and widely used stainless steel, providing superior rust resistance compared to 200-series grades.

  • Withstands temperatures up to 1000–1200°C and shows excellent resistance to nitric acid, alkaline solutions, and most organic and inorganic acids.
