What is Stainless Steel 316L Round Bars?

Metcore Alloys is one of the prime and renowned manufacturers, suppliers, exporters, and stockists of qualitative Stainless Steel 316L Round Bars. The low carbon variety stainless steel 316 alloy is used to manufacture Stainless Steel 316L Round Bars and contains only 0.03% carbon content maximum compared to 0.08% in standard 316 stainless steel.

This reduced carbon content enhances corrosion resistance, and hence 316L Round Bars are especially suited to high-temperature working and ensure the best intergranular corrosion resistance. Made of special steel grades with outstanding physical properties, such as very good weldability and very high resistance against corrosive chemicals, these round bars find wide application in pharmaceutical and food processing equipment, as well as architectural and marine applications.

The 316L Stainless Steel Rod is thus more opportune in heavy gauge welding applications due to the fact that the chemical composition in it is such that it serves to reduce the tendency for decay. Low carbon content in this regard plays an important role in reducing carbide precipitations and hence sensitizing the grain boundaries of the weld.

The nominal specification number for SS 316L material is AMS 5653, which has other specification numbers as UNS S31600. Due to its variable ability to withstand heat and corrosion, the alloy is utilized in most of the industries. Low carbon content enhances good weldability in it and then imparts resistance to corrosion.

What Is Turned, Ground and Polished?

The process used for the manufacturing of 316L round bars is referred to as Turned, Ground, and Polished. This process shall take a relatively coarse, roughly dimensional stainless steel rod into a precision round bar with smooth, straight surfaces. Turning the steel rod involves the cutting tool passing within the rod in multiple passes to bring it down to its correct dimension, taking in perspective the size of the rod at issue. Subsequent grinding and polishing improve the surface condition and appearance of the round bars, offering a smooth and finished surface.

Metcore Alloys deal in premium quality AISI 316L Stainless Steel Round Bars, which are being manufactured according to international standards by our company and supplied globally. The bars we offer are the low-carbon versions of alloy 316 and are made to withstand grain boundary carbide precipitation. These bars are immensely tough at cryogenic temperatures and hence are popularly known as UNS S31603 bars within synthetic oils and gas industries. Our products have international recognition for their superior manufacturing flexibility and corrosion-resistant properties.

The austenitic structure composition in these bars provides superior class toughness, even in a cryogenic environment. We can provide grade bars in many specifications, such as standards, designations, surface finish, and lengths. At Metcore Alloys, the fabrication of AISI 316L Stainless Steel Round Bars is carried out in our state-of-the-art facilities by the high-quality raw materials provided by trust-worthy vendors.
