304L stainless steel round bar

Overview of 304/304L Stainless Steel Round Bar

Stainless Steel Round Bar 304/304L is a premium round bar made from the 304 and 304L stainless steel alloys. Known for their excellent mechanical properties, these alloys are highly resistant to a variety of corrosive agents, making them ideal for applications where sanitation and cleanliness are critical.

Key Features of 304L Stainless Steel Round Bar

The 304L grade, with its low carbon content, offers significant advantages. It prevents harmful precipitation during welding, particularly in the temperature range of 800º F to 1500º F. This makes the 304L stainless steel round bar a preferred choice for welded constructions where subsequent heat treatment is impractical. Both grades (UNS S30400 and UNS S30403) belong to the austenitic family of stainless steels, characterized by their face-centered cubic crystal structure.

Applications of 304 Stainless Steel Rod

Commonly used in various industries, the 304 stainless steel round bar is suitable for aerospace, food and beverage, machinery, architectural, chemical, and cryogenic applications. While it provides high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, it is less effective in marine and highly corrosive environments. Our stainless steel round bar stock is available in standard sizes and can be custom-cut to meet your specific needs.
