304 Stainless Steel Square Bar

The 304 Stainless Steel Square Bar represents a versatile austenitic stainless steel profile known for its exceptional mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. This premium stainless steel square bar is non-magnetic in its annealed condition and can achieve increased hardness and tensile strength through cold working. The material's balanced composition makes it particularly valuable in applications where cleanliness and sanitation are paramount.

Features and Applications of 304 Stainless Steel Square Bar

The 304 Stainless Steel Square Bar is available in two variants: standard 304 and 304L (low carbon). The 304L grade features an extra-low carbon content, which prevents harmful precipitation during welding at temperatures between 800°F and 1500°F, making it ideal for heavy-section welded constructions where post-weld heat treatment isn't practical.

Key characteristics:

• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Superior mechanical properties
• Enhanced weldability (304L grade)
• Non-magnetic properties in annealed condition
• Available in various sizes and specifications (ASTM 276 and 479)

Among the various types of stainless steel square bar products, including ferritic, martensitic, and duplex grades, the austenitic types like 304/304L offer the most cost-effective solution while maintaining excellent performance characteristics. These qualities make it a preferred choice across numerous industrial and commercial applications where reliability and durability are essential.
