Hemi Metals, located in Hamilton, New Zealand, is a trusted name when it comes to manufacturing and supplying top-notch Stainless Steel 316 Rectangular Bars, perfect for both industrial and architectural uses. These bars are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring they meet strict dimensional standards and maintain consistent metallurgical quality for outstanding reliability. Renowned for their impressive corrosion resistance and durability, Hemi Metals’ SS 316 rectangular bars excel in tough environments filled with moisture and chemicals. The company caters to vital industries like marine, construction, chemical processing, food equipment, and heavy engineering, providing reliable supplies that meet global standards and perform well under challenging conditions.
Stainless Steel 316 Rectangular Bars are made up of about 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, all while keeping carbon content in check. The addition of molybdenum greatly enhances their resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and attacks from chlorides. Typically, these bars boast a tensile strength of around 515 MPa and a yield strength close to 205 MPa, along with excellent ductility and toughness. They are mostly non-magnetic when annealed, offer good weldability, and maintain stable mechanical properties even at normal and moderately elevated temperatures.

Choose Stainless Steel 316 Rectangular Bars based on their resistance to corrosion, particularly in marine and chemical environments, and ensure they meet strength and durability requirements for your specific application. Consider factors like size, shape, and any applicable industry standards.
Yes, Stainless Steel 316 Rectangular Bars can be welded using standard welding techniques. Their excellent weldability is enhanced by their low carbon content, which minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation.
Stainless Steel 316 Rectangular Bars typically do not require additional corrosion protection coatings due to their inherent corrosion resistance. However, for extreme environments, coatings can provide added protection against aggressive chemicals or wear.
Stainless Steel 316 Rectangular Bars find a wide range of applications in manufacturing, fabrication, and structural projects where both corrosion resistance and strength are paramount. They’re often utilized for machine frames, structural supports, base plates, brackets, marine fittings, and architectural designs. In industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing, these bars are crucial for creating hygienic and corrosion-resistant equipment components. Additionally, they are employed in heat exchangers, pressure vessels, offshore structures, and wastewater treatment facilities. Their ability to endure saltwater, acids, and harsh industrial conditions makes them a go-to choice for many applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
