Stainless Steel 316L Hex Bar/Rod is an austenitic stainless steel primarily made up of iron, chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%), with a 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 has a tensile strength ranging from approximately 485–620 MPa and a yield strength between 205–275 MPa. Its ferrite-free austenitic structure guarantees dimensional stability, weldability, and reliable mechanical properties, making it ideal for demanding applications that require long-lasting durability and chemical resistance.
