Instruction of Stainless Steel 316 Round Rods

Alloy 316/316L is molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. The higher nickel and molybdenum content in this grade allows it to demonstrate better overall corrosion resistant properties than 304, especially with regard to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. In addition, Alloy 316/ 316L provides excellent elevated temperature tensile, creep and stress-rupture strengths, as well as outstanding formability and weldability. 316L is the lower carbon version of 316 and is immune from sensitization; therefore, it is very frequently used in heavy gauge welded components.

Features of Stainless Steel 316 Round Rods

1. Stainless Steel 316 Round Bars Corrosion Resistance:

  • Generally more resistant than 304 in range of atmospheric environments and many corrosive media due to the increased chromium
    and molybdenum content.
  • Subject to pitting and crevice corrosion in warm chloride environments, and to stress corrosion cracking above about 122°F (50°C).
  • Considered resistant to potable water with up to about 1000mg/L chlorides at ambient temperatures, reducing to about 500mg/L at
    140°F (60°C).
  • Usually regarded as the “marine grade stainless steel” – but is not resistant to warm sea water.

2.Stainless Steel 316 Round Bars Heat Resistance:

  • Good oxidation resistance in intermittent service to 1600°F (870°C) and in continuous service to 1700°F (925°C)
  • Grade 316L is more resistant to carbide precipitation.

3. Stainless Steel 316 Round Bars Welding Characteristics:

  • Excellent weldability by all standard fusion methods, both with and without filler metals.
  • Heavy welded sections in Grade 316 require post-weld annealing for maximum corrosion resistance, this is not required for grade 316L.

4. Stainless Steel 316 Round Bars Heat Treatment:

  • Annealing temperature range is 1900 to 2100°F (1038 to 1149°C).
  • Cannot be hardened by heat treatment.
  • Special consideration is needed to compensate for a higher coefficient of thermal expansion to avoid warping and distortion.

5. Stainless Steel 316 Round Bars Machineability:

  • Type 316/316L is somewhat more difficult to machine than Type 304 because of its toughness.
  • 316/316L machines with chip characteristics that are tough and strong.
  • Chip breakers and curlers are advised.
  • As large a tool as possible and great amounts of cutting fluid should be used.
  • Heavy positive feeds at low speeds should be considered since 316/316L work hardens rapidly.

Marking and packaging of Stainless Steel 316 Round Rods

The packaging of our products (eg. weathered corrugated steel, weathering corrugated steel,corten steel columnl,hot rolled stainless steel plate) ensures that they will not be damaged during transport. For export purposes, the usual export packaging is done in wooden crates or crates. All hr sheet metal, plates and coils are marked with a logo (company mark), grade, size and batch number. On request, we can customise the marking on the product,such as spcc cold rolled steel.
