304 Stainless Steel Bar/Rod

Stainless Steel bar
Stainless steel rods are versatile and widely used metal components that play a crucial role in various industries due to their unique combination of properties. Composed primarily of iron, chromium, and other alloying elements, stainless steel rods are known for their exceptional corrosion resistance, durability, and strength.
304 stainless steel square bars have excellent strength qualities and have significant resistance to tensile wear, fracture, cracking, solidification, disintegration and general corrosion under extreme circumstances. As with stainless steel 304 flat bars, corrosion resistance depends primarily on the composition of the stainless steel. For resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion, the chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen content in stainless steel UNS S30400 threaded rods are most important. Stainless steel 304 hollow rods offer a range of corrosion resistance similar to that of austenitic stainless steels to 6% molybdenum stainless steels. However, 304 stainless steel hexagonal rods are not completely anti-fouling in environments with low oxygen, high salinity or poor air circulation.
