With a commitment to high-quality materials and consistent supply, Phehlukwayo Metal guarantees that every hex bar and rod adheres to strict international standards. They serve various sectors, including chemical processing, petrochemical, and high-temperature applications, blending technical know-how with customer-focused solutions, making them a go-to choice for engineers, fabricators, and industrial buyers throughout South Africa.
Stainless Steel 310S Hex Bars and Rods are primarily made up of iron, chromium (24–26%), and nickel (19–22%), which gives them exceptional high-temperature strength and resistance to corrosion. With a low carbon content (≤0.08%), they enhance weldability and reduce the risk of carbide precipitation. On the mechanical side, 310S boasts a tensile strength of about 515–700 MPa and a yield strength of around 205–310 MPa, along with a good elongation rate of 30–40%. Its hardness falls between 187–217 HB, making it perfect for applications that demand both toughness and stability at high temperatures. This material maintains its structural integrity even under thermal cycling, making it a reliable choice for challenging industrial settings.

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.
Stainless Steel 310S Hex Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries that require both high-temperature resistance and durability against corrosion. Typical applications include components for furnaces, heat exchangers, kilns, gas turbines, and boiler parts. They are also ideal for chemical processing equipment, petrochemical plants, and exhaust systems, where exposure to extreme heat and oxidizing conditions is common. The combination of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance makes 310S hex bars perfect for fabricating structural components, flanges, and fasteners in harsh environments.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
