Understanding 316/316L Stainless Steel Hexagon Bar Properties

The 316L stainless steel hexagon bar represents a superior molybdenum-bearing grade, ranking second in popularity among austenitic stainless steels after grade 304. The molybdenum content enhances its corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-rich environments. The 316L variant features lower carbon content, preventing harmful precipitation during welding of heavier sections at temperatures between 800°F and 1500°F, making it ideal for heavy-gauge welded components.

Superior Finish and Applications

Our cold-finished 316L stainless steel hexagon bar offers:

• Enhanced strength and dimensional accuracy
• Superior surface quality
• Excellent resistance to industrial chemicals
• Optimal performance in harsh environments
• Ideal for marine, chemical processing, and food industry applications
