Hemi Metals, located in Hamilton, New Zealand, is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Stainless Steel 431 Rectangular Bars, perfect for high-strength and corrosion-resistant engineering needs. SS 431 is a high-performance martensitic stainless steel that stands out for its impressive tensile strength, decent corrosion resistance, and exceptional toughness compared to regular martensitic grades. Crafted with precision in dimensions, a smooth surface finish, and carefully controlled heat treatment, these rectangular bars guarantee consistent mechanical performance. Hemi Metals provides SS 431 rectangular bars to industries like aerospace, marine, power generation, oil & gas, and heavy engineering, where strength, durability, and reliability are essential.
Stainless Steel 431 is made up of about 15–17% chromium and 1.25–2.5% nickel, with a controlled carbon content. This specific chemical makeup gives it better corrosion resistance than SS 410 while allowing for excellent hardenability through heat treatment. Typically, SS 431 rectangular bars deliver tensile strength ranging from 850–1000 MPa after hardening and tempering, boasting high yield strength and good impact toughness. The material is magnetic, offers great fatigue resistance, and maintains reliable mechanical stability even under high loads, torsion, and cyclic stress.
