Known for their precision engineering and unwavering quality, Hemi Metals guarantees that their products adhere to strict international standards. The Stainless Steel 316L Round Bars and Rods they provide are crafted for outstanding corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance, even in tough environments. With dependable logistics, technical know-how, and a customer-first mindset, Hemi Metals stands out as a trustworthy partner for high-performance stainless steel solutions throughout New Zealand and beyond.
Stainless Steel 316L Round Bars and Rods are low-carbon austenitic stainless steels primarily made up of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. The low carbon content minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, which boosts corrosion resistance. Molybdenum plays a key role in enhancing resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in environments rich in chlorides. On the mechanical side, these bars and rods offer good tensile and yield strength, along with excellent ductility and toughness across a wide temperature range, ensuring reliable performance in both structural and precision-engineered applications.

SS 310S hex bars/rods are primarily used in high-temperature applications, such as furnace components, heat exchangers, and petrochemical industries. They are also employed in the manufacturing of furnace parts, chimney liners, catalytic reactors, and welding electrodes due to their excellent oxidation, corrosion resistance, and strength at elevated temperatures.
SS 310S offers superior corrosion resistance compared to many other stainless steel grades, especially at high temperatures, due to its higher chromium and nickel content. It excels in resisting oxidation and scaling at temperatures up to 1100°C (2012°F), making it more heat-resistant than grades like SS 304 or SS 316.
Common manufacturing processes for SS 310S hex bars/rods include hot rolling, cold drawing, and extrusion. These methods shape the alloy into hexagonal rods while maintaining its mechanical properties. Heat treatment processes like annealing are also used to enhance corrosion resistance and improve the material's strength and ductility.
These Stainless Steel 316L Round Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries where corrosion resistance, strength, and hygiene are crucial. Common applications include chemical processing equipment, marine fittings, food and beverage machinery, pharmaceutical plants, and components for oil and gas. They are also frequently utilized for shafts, fasteners, valves, heat exchangers, and architectural features. Thanks to their superb weldability, machinability, and formability, these bars and rods are perfect for fabrication and custom manufacturing, providing a long service life and lower maintenance costs in challenging operating conditions.
