Phehlukwayo Metal is a reputable manufacturer and supplier located in Cape Town, South Africa, with a focus on high-quality stainless steel products. One of their standout offerings is the Stainless Steel 430 Square Bars/Rods, which are celebrated for their impressive formability, resistance to corrosion, and affordability. These bars and rods are crafted to meet both local and international standards, making them perfect for a variety of industrial and commercial uses. Phehlukwayo Metal prides itself on delivering consistent quality, precision engineering, and timely deliveries, establishing itself as a dependable partner in the stainless steel supply sector. With a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction, the company caters to a diverse range of industries throughout South Africa and beyond.
The Stainless Steel 430 Square Bars/Rods are primarily made up of chromium (16–18%) and iron, with only a small amount of nickel, classifying them as a ferritic stainless steel grade. This unique composition grants them excellent resistance to oxidation and corrosion, particularly in mildly corrosive settings. In terms of mechanical properties, they boast a tensile strength of about 450 MPa, a yield strength of roughly 205 MPa, and an elongation of 22%. Additionally, these bars demonstrate good thermal conductivity and moderate strength even at higher temperatures. Their magnetic properties and resistance to stress corrosion cracking make them suitable for a wide range of structural and industrial applications.
