316 Stainless Steel Bar Data Sheet
General Description:
316 stainless steel bars are corrosion-resistant stainless steel rods containing chromium, nickel, and molybdenum. The addition of molybdenum enhances resistance to pitting corrosion in chloride environments, making 316 stainless steel bars widely used in marine equipment, chemical processing systems, and food industry applications.
Chemical Composition:
| Element | C | Cr | Ni | Mn | Si | P | S |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage | ≤ 0.08% | 16% | 10-14% | ≤ 2.0% | ≤ 0.75% | ≤ 0.045% | ≤ 0.03% |
To ensure the highest quality, Huaxiao Metal strictly follows ASTM A276 standards. Compared to 304, the addition of Molybdenum (Mo) in 316 provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.
Mechanical Properties:
| Tensile Strength | Yield Strength (0.2% offset) | Elongation | Hardness(Brinell) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 515-690 MPa (75-100 ksi) | ≥ 205 MPa (30 ksi) | ≥ 40% | ≤ 217 HB |
Physical Properties:
- Density: 8 g/cm³ (0.289 lb/in³)
- Melting Range: 1375-1400°C (2507-2552°F)
Properties and Characteristics of 316 Stainless Steel Bar:
316 stainless steel bars offer several advantages that make them one of the most widely used stainless steel materials in industrial manufacturing.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
The addition of molybdenum significantly improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments such as seawater or chemical processing systems.
High Strength and Durability
316 stainless steel bars maintain excellent mechanical strength even in high-temperature environments.
Good Weldability
Austenitic stainless steels like 316 have excellent weldability and fabrication performance.
Heat Resistance
316 stainless steel maintains oxidation resistance up to approximately 870°C, making it suitable for high-temperature industrial applications.
Hygienic and Easy to Clean
Because of its smooth surface and corrosion resistance, 316 stainless steel is commonly used in food processing and pharmaceutical equipment.
When purchasing 316 stainless steel bars, it’s essential to consider factors such as dimensions, surface finish, and specific requirements for your application. The bars may come in various shapes, including round, square, hexagonal, or flat, depending on the intended use. Additionally, they may undergo different surface finishes, such as polished, ground, or rough turned, to meet specific aesthetic or functional needs.

FAQ
What is 316 stainless steel bar used for?
316 stainless steel bars are commonly used in marine equipment, chemical processing systems, food machinery, and pharmaceutical equipment due to their excellent corrosion resistance.
Is 316 stainless steel better than 304?
316 stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance because it contains molybdenum, which improves resistance to chloride environments.
What sizes are available for 316 stainless steel bars?
Typical sizes range from 4 mm to 500 mm in diameter, depending on the type of bar.
Can 316 stainless steel be used in marine environments?
Yes. Because of its molybdenum content, 316 stainless steel is widely used in seawater and marine environments.
What is the difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel bars?
The main difference is the carbon content. 316L (Low Carbon) is better for welding applications to avoid carbide precipitation, while 316 is standard for general high-corrosion environments.
