Hemi Metals, located in Hamilton, New Zealand, stands out as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of high-quality Stainless Steel 304L Rectangular Bars, perfect for industrial, commercial, and architectural uses. These bars are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring precise dimensions and a smooth finish, all while adhering to international quality standards. Known for their impressive corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, and consistent mechanical strength, Hemi Metals’ SS 304L rectangular bars are widely utilized in fabrication and structural projects, providing long-lasting performance in humid, mildly corrosive, and general-purpose environments across various industries.
Stainless Steel 304L Rectangular Bars are made up of about 18–20% chromium and 8–12% nickel, with a low carbon content of less than 0.03%. This low carbon level is crucial as it helps prevent carbide precipitation during welding, enhancing resistance to intergranular corrosion. Typically, these bars boast a tensile strength of around 485 MPa and a yield strength close to 170 MPa, along with remarkable ductility and impact toughness. They are non-magnetic when annealed, maintain good hardness stability, and perform reliably in both standard and moderately elevated temperature conditions.
