What is Stainless Steel 416 Round Bars?

Metcore Alloys is one of the well-recognized manufacturers, suppliers, exporters, and stockists of Stainless Steel 416 Round Bars. The Stainless Steel 416 Round Bars come from the martensitic family of stainless steel alloys. Besides, they have excellent machinability. This grade or type, 416, is one of the free machining alloys and hence is highly popular among the manufacturers and suppliers for those applications where the efficiency in machining is considered though the cost of machining is about 15% to 20% higher compared to the conventional machining.

The standard documentation that should be followed while manufacturing these round bars includes ASTM A276 or ASME SA-276. Workability of 416 stainless steel round bars involves advantages of increasing the machining speed and improving the capacity for material cut, therefore being preferred by most exporters and stockiest.One of the major advantages of Stainless Steel 416 round bars during machining is the formation of small chips, as this not only simplifies machining but also prolongs tool life.

The ASTM A479 UNS S41600 hex bars are free machining grades. The material can be heat treated to harden, which will further improve the strength and hardness. This heat treatment makes it suitable for high-performance applications in industries. Owing to its affordable cost and good machinability, JIS SUS 416 black bars have been considered pivotal in application in a tempered condition to make sure that mechanical properties are optimized.

Stainless Steel 416 has better machinability compared with conventional austenitic stainless steels. This superior machinability, however, is achieved at some cost in terms of corrosion resistance. Whereas the alloy has decent, moderate corrosion resistance, it is unsuitable for marine or chloride-exposed environments. It contains a high content of sulfur to enhance machinability in SS 416 bright bars; therefore, the material is not fit for harsh conditions where corrosion phenomena are of prime concern.

Stainless Steel 416 provides good service in a rather wide range of applications. Basically, this is in motors, pumps and valves, washing machine components, axles, gears, and much more. Since it can be tempered, it is very well-suited to service in media that produces abrasive wear. In particular, the oxidation and corrosion resistance of the alloy to food acids as well as neutral salt are particularly useful in high-temperature service. At Metcore Alloys, we avail the Stainless Steel 416 Round Bars from different sizes to satisfy our customers' needs.
