416 stainless steel bars are popular in specific applications that require good mechanical properties and involve moderately corrosive conditions. These applications include valves, machine parts, bolts, valve parts, screws, pistons, pump rods, cutlery, and machine parts for the food industry. These materials can are easily formable and drawn in an annealed condition.
Benefits of Using 416 Stainless Steel
There are numerous advantages to using 416 stainless steel bar stock. This material has a long-standing history in the manufacturing industry and is now helpful in the construction of homes and buildings as well.
It offers high tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance. It is known for its weldability and machinability, and more processes. This steel can undergo drilling, heat-treating, polishing, and cold working. Compared to other metals, this stainless steel round bar has several advantages, including a high strength-to-weight ratio, good ductility, and ease of fabrication.
It finds applications in aerospace engineering, automotive manufacturing, marine engineering, and more. It also outperforms other types of steel in terms of fabricability and its ability to withstand higher temperatures.
Here are the top two advantages:
Higher Strength-to-Weight Ratio: It round bar is stronger compared to most other metals in its weight category.
Better Ductility: This stainless steel round stock exhibits better ductility than most other metals in its weight class.
PGB’s 416 Stainless Steel Bar Stock
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, known for its high resistance to corrosion and oxidation. This grade is the most common type of steel used in today’s industry and is popular in manufacturing.
It has low carbon content, making it corrosion-resistant and easily weldable. It is widely applicable in various industries, such as aerospace, chemical processing, construction, and mining, to produce high-quality bars.
Not only that, it is also a type of stainless steel that has been processed into bar stock for various manufacturing products. This stainless steel is useful in construction, furniture making, and automotive parts manufacturing applications. Additionally, it is practical to use in producing round bars requiring minimal distortion or bending in machinery and other applications.
We offer 416/416L round bars perfect for parts that require oxidation resistance, such as compressor shrouds. It demonstrates its usefulness at relatively high temperatures when subjected to low stresses. The superior corrosion resistance of 416 steel can be further enhanced through polishing and hardening.
