Phehlukwayo Metal, located in Cape Town, South Africa, is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Stainless Steel 316L Square Bars and Rods. Known for their dedication to precision, durability, and dependability, Phehlukwayo Metal serves a wide range of industrial and commercial needs. Their 316L stainless steel products are crafted to meet stringent international standards, providing outstanding resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and tough environmental conditions. Thanks to advanced manufacturing methods and strict quality control, Phehlukwayo Metal offers square bars and rods that not only deliver structural strength but also ensure long-lasting performance, making them a go-to choice across various sectors.
Stainless Steel 316L is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel alloy primarily made up of iron, chromium (16–18%), nickel (10–14%), and molybdenum (2–3%), which boosts its corrosion resistance. The low carbon content helps prevent carbide precipitation during welding, preserving its superior corrosion resistance. It boasts impressive mechanical properties, including high tensile strength, good ductility, and toughness. With a yield strength of about 290 MPa, tensile strength of 580 MPa, and an elongation of 40%, 316L square bars and rods can handle heavy loads and extreme conditions while maintaining their dimensional stability and structural integrity.
