Phehlukwayo Metal stands out as a top-notch manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 416 Rectangular Bars, proudly based in Cape Town, South Africa. Known for its precision engineering and high-quality metal products, this company caters to a diverse array of industrial and commercial sectors. With a strong commitment to durability, performance, and customer satisfaction, Phehlukwayo Metal guarantees that every stainless steel product adheres to international standards. The 416 Rectangular Bars are crafted using cutting-edge manufacturing techniques, providing excellent machinability, corrosion resistance, and strength—making them perfect for demanding mechanical and engineering applications across various industries.
These Stainless Steel 416 Rectangular Bars are martensitic stainless steel alloys, primarily made up of iron, chromium (12–14%), and a touch of sulfur to enhance machinability. The typical makeup includes carbon (0.15%), manganese (1.25%), silicon (1%), and phosphorus (0.04%). These bars boast high tensile strength, good hardness, and moderate corrosion resistance, particularly in dry environments. Their mechanical properties feature a tensile strength of about 550–700 MPa, a yield strength of around 275 MPa, and hardness reaching up to 40 HRC, making them ideal for precision-machined components and structural applications.

When selecting Stainless Steel 416 Rectangular Bars, consider their machinability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength for your application, along with factors like required dimensions and heat treatment suitability. They are ideal for applications needing precision machining and moderate corrosion resistance.
Stainless Steel 416 Rectangular Bars can be welded, but they require careful heat control to prevent cracking. Post-weld heat treatment is often recommended to restore their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
Choose Stainless Steel 416 Rectangular Bars based on your need for high machinability, strength, and moderate corrosion resistance. Consider factors like the required dimensions, mechanical properties, and the specific environmental conditions of your application.
Phehlukwayo Metal’s Stainless Steel 416 Rectangular Bars find extensive use in industries that demand strong, machinable, and corrosion-resistant materials. Common applications include the production of valves, pumps, shafts, gears, bolts, nuts, and fasteners. They also play a role in automotive components, turbine blades, and precision-engineered tools. The remarkable machinability of grade 416 makes it a go-to choice for parts that require tight tolerances and fine finishes. Plus, these bars perform admirably in mildly corrosive environments, making them suitable for machinery, mechanical assemblies, and general engineering applications where durability and performance are essential.
