Stainless Steel Round Bar

Stainless steel round bars are cylindrical metal bars made of stainless steel, a type of steel alloy with a chromium content of at least 10.5% by mass. These round bars are used in a variety of industries due to their excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

2. Chromium: Provides corrosion resistance by forming a passive oxide layer on the surface of steel, protecting it from rust and other forms of corrosion.

3. Nickel: Enhances corrosion resistance and toughness of stainless steel.

4. Other alloying elements: Elements like molybdenum, titanium, and copper can be added to improve specific properties such as strength, machinability, and resistance to pitting corrosion.

Characteristics of stainless steel round bars:

1. Corrosion resistance: Stainless steel exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in harsh environments such as marine, chemical, and food processing industries.

2. High strength: Depending on the grade and heat treatment, stainless steel round bars offer high tensile strength, enabling them to withstand heavy loads and stresses.

3. Heat resistance: Stainless steel maintains its mechanical properties even at high temperatures, making it suitable for applications involving elevated temperatures or thermal cycling.

Applications: Valve shafts, rotating shafts, tableware, kitchen appliances, and various mechanical parts.

Materials: 304 / 316, and many others.

Finishes:

- Polished: A smooth, reflective surface finish achieved through mechanical or electropolishing.

- Brushed: The surface is brushed with an abrasive material to achieve a satin-like finish.

- Annealing: Heat treatment finish to eliminate internal stresses and improve machinability.
