Hexa Metal Trading Co, we take pride in offering top-quality AISI 316H Stainless Steel Round Bars distinguished by their low carbon content, which imbues them with exceptional properties, ensuring they meet the highest standards of quality. Our high-quality bars are manufactured, supplied, and exported to clients worldwide, catering to diverse demands for dimensions, thicknesses, and specifications. Whether it’s special packaging materials, necessary documents, or customer support, we strive to meet all client requirements. Widely used in chemical, plumbing, and building industries, our bars find applications in heavy gauge welding situations, making them essential in oil refineries, nuclear plants, textile industries, pharmaceuticals, and more.

General Characteristics of AISI 316H Stainless Steel Round Bars:

Derived from grade UNS S31609 or alloy 316H, our round bars exhibit exceptional properties suitable for high-temperature services, pressure vessel applications, and environments with temperatures exceeding 500°C or 932°F. With its high carbon content, alloy 316H offers superior yield and tensile strength, alongside excellent toughness at cryogenic temperatures and corrosion resistance in moderately corrosive environments. These bars excel in environments containing halides or chlorides, offering resistance to reducing and moderately oxidizing environments and even marine conditions. Unlike other alloys, our bars do not exhibit magnetic properties in the annealed condition and derive their strength from cold working rather than heat treatment, ensuring ease of welding and processing.

Corrosion Resistance Properties:

Our AISI 316H Stainless Steel Round Bars exhibit exceptional resistance to sulfur-containing environments, making them suitable for applications in the pulp and paper industry. They also withstand acetic and phosphoric acids, making them ideal for use in various industries, including food and pharmaceuticals, where fatty acids and hot organic acids are present.

Fabrication of Round Bars:

Our round bars undergo various fabrication practices, including hot forming and cold forming, with hot forming conducted at temperatures ranging from 1700-2200°F. Post annealing followed by water quenching enhances corrosion resistance, eliminating the need for post-welded heat treatment processes.

Production Stages:

From raw material collection to chemical and physical testing, heating, hot rolling, inspection, water quenching, and final inspection, our AISI 316H Stainless Steel Round Bars undergo meticulous production stages to ensure superior quality. Once inspected and tested, the bars are packaged securely before dispatch to respected buyers.

Difference between 316 and 316H SS Round Bars:

316 and 316H SS round bars serve distinct purposes, with 316H offering higher corrosion resistance due to its extra chromium content, making it ideal for marine environments and areas with high acidity levels. While both grades offer similar benefits, 316H provides improved corrosion resistance, while 316 offers greater overall strength.

316H Stainless Steel Round Bar:

Ideal for high-temperature and corrosive atmospheres, 316H stainless steel round bars boast exceptional thermal properties, chloride resistance, and strength-to-weight properties. Used in various industrial applications, these bars offer an ideal balance of cost-effectiveness and quality results.
