Stainless Steel 416 Hex Bar is a martensitic stainless steel primarily made up of iron, chromium (12–14%), carbon (0.15–0.40%), and sulfur to boost machinability. It boasts a tensile strength of about 650–750 MPa, a yield strength of around 450 MPa, and good hardness after heat treatment. This alloy is magnetic in all conditions and combines excellent wear resistance, toughness, and ease of machining while still offering moderate corrosion resistance. Its ferritic-martensitic structure ensures dependable mechanical properties, making it ideal for applications that require high-strength, precision-fabricated components.

Stainless Steel 416 Hex Bar finds its place in applications that require superior machinability, mechanical strength, and moderate corrosion resistance. It’s commonly used in the production of shafts, fasteners, valve components, gears, and pump parts. This alloy is also well-suited for automotive, chemical processing, and precision tooling applications where high durability and ease of machining are crucial. Furthermore, Stainless Steel 416 Hex Bars are utilized in engineering and industrial environments that demand cost-effective, wear-resistant, and long-lasting materials, ensuring reliable performance in both high-stress and moderate conditions.
SS 416 contains higher sulfur content for improved machinability, but this reduces its corrosion resistance compared to other stainless steel grades like SS 304 or SS 316. The sulfur content interferes with the formation of a protective oxide layer, making SS 416 more susceptible to corrosion in aggressive environments.
SS 416 hex bars are commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries. Their primary applications include shafts, valves, pump components, and fasteners. Due to their excellent machinability, they are ideal for producing precise parts in high-volume machining environments, especially where moderate corrosion resistance is required.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
