Hemi Metals is a renowned manufacturer and exporter of Stainless Steel 316 Hex Bars, available in welded construction and customizable to meet specific requirements. SS 316 Hexagon Bars are commonly used in applications such as chemical process equipment, tank trucks, propeller shafts, and spent nuclear fuel element recovery. Alloy 316 Hex Bars are particularly suited for pollution control systems, oil well piping, and gas gathering pipelines, including as clad steel pipe, where resistance to stress cracking and general corrosion in both reducing and oxidizing acids is critical. The chromium content in Grade 316 Hex Bar provides excellent resistance to various oxidizing agents, including nitric acid, nitrates, and oxidizing salts. While not completely immune to stress-corrosion cracking in boiling magnesium chloride, Type 316 Hex Bar offers strong resistance in neutral chloride environments. AISI 316 Hex Bars are widely used in chemical processing, oil and gas pipeline systems, pollution-control equipment, nuclear fuel reprocessing, pickling equipment, acid production, and other similar applications.
Stainless Steel 316 Hex Bars/Rods are composed primarily of iron, with approximately 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum, providing excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride environments. The molybdenum enhances resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Mechanical properties include high tensile strength (up to 580 MPa), yield strength (up to 290 MPa), and good elongation (40-50%) ensuring durability and flexibility. SS 316 also offers excellent resistance to oxidation and stress-corrosion cracking, making it ideal for demanding applications in chemical processing, oil and gas, and nuclear industries.

SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods are highly resistant to corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments like marine settings. Their durability against pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking makes them ideal for marine and chemical applications. Additionally, their high-temperature resistance and strength enhance performance in harsh conditions.
SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods are commonly used in industries such as marine, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and aerospace. Their superior corrosion resistance protects against rust, pitting, and chemical damage, making them ideal for harsh environments, ensuring longevity, reliability, and reduced maintenance costs in critical applications.
SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods can be easily welded and machined, but precautions are needed. During welding, pre-heating and post-weld heat treatment are recommended to prevent cracking. Use appropriate filler materials for optimal strength. For machining, ensure proper tooling to avoid work hardening and maintain smooth surfaces.
SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods are widely used in applications requiring high corrosion and heat resistance. Typical applications include chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage processing, and pollution control systems. Used in oil and gas pipelines, nuclear fuel reprocessing, marine environmental systems, tank cars, propeller shafts and heat exchangers SS 316 due to its resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking Hex bars well in hard surfaces, acids and chlorides so Connections are ideal for applications
