Phehlukwayo Metal is dedicated to providing stainless steel products that adhere to international standards, guaranteeing long-lasting, dependable, and high-performance solutions for a variety of industrial applications.
Stainless Steel 316L Flat Bar is an austenitic stainless steel primarily made up of iron, chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%), with a very low carbon content (maximum 0.03%) to improve weldability and corrosion resistance. This unique composition offers excellent protection against chlorides, acids, and pitting, along with impressive high-temperature strength, toughness, and ductility. The material boasts a tensile strength of around 485–620 MPa and a yield strength of 205–275 MPa. Its ferrite-free austenitic structure ensures stability, weldability, and reliable mechanical properties, making it an ideal choice for applications that demand long-lasting durability and chemical resistance.

Stainless Steel 316L flat bars primarily consist of 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum, with a maximum carbon content of 0.03%. This composition enhances corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich environments, making it ideal for demanding applications.
Stainless Steel 316L flat bars are commonly used in industries such as chemical processing, marine, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals. Their high corrosion resistance makes them ideal for applications exposed to aggressive chemicals, saltwater, and high-temperature environments.
The low carbon content in 316L stainless steel reduces carbide precipitation during welding, improving its resistance to intergranular corrosion. This enhances its overall corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride environments, and makes it suitable for applications requiring high strength and durability.
Stainless Steel 316L Flat Bars find extensive use in applications that require high corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability. They are commonly found in chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, pumps, valves, and marine components. This alloy is particularly well-suited for pharmaceutical machinery, petrochemical plants, and industrial piping systems that are exposed to acidic or chloride-rich environments. Additionally, Stainless Steel 316L Flat Bars are utilized in food processing equipment, structural components, and various types of industrial machinery.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
