Stainless Steel Rod Round Bar Rod 8mm x 600mm

Product Information

Also available in a range of materials, our range of metal bars and rods can accommodate any application. Our bars and rods can be found in:

Being non-porous is a key factor in the ability of stainless steel to resist corrosion, in addition to the specific chemical makeup of its alloy Ineffective conductor A stainless steel rod, or stainless steel bar, is commonly used in construction because of its durability and resistance to rusting. Ferrous metal rods - These are made up of ferrous metals and alloys which happen to be iron-based and are popular due to their high levels of hardening and property alloying elements. Metal rods are specially formed pieces of metal and alloy that are shaped into a rod-like aesthetic hence the name. Metal rods are commonly used to support a range of applications such as within masonry structures.For rods that are more than two inches in diameter we offer grade 303. This is the most machinable austenitic grade of stainless steel because it has a slightly higher proportion of sulphur. It is commonly used for aircrafts, nuts, screws and bolts. Round Bar– Also known as Metal Rod, the round bar is typically measured by its diameter referring to the widest dimension across the cross-section of the bar.

Metal bars are lengths of material in a range of forms suitable for use in a wide range of applications. Construction and fabrication industries are some of the most common uses for metal bars and use a wide range of materials and forms in industrial and everyday use products. Be aware that the strongest stainless alloys available may be unsuitable for structural use in 95% of applications and environments As you can probably imagine given the range of options already outlined in this guide, this leaves us with a bewildering number of potential grades of stainless steel (over 150, in fact, although only around 15 of these are especially common in everyday construction use). Worse still, there isn’t even one universal method for grading stainless steels - while there is often a large degree of crossover, specific grading scales do technically vary from country to country! These Grade 304 Stainless Steel solid cylindrical sections of Bar or Rod are produced by one of the following methods of manufacture: Here’s where buying stainless steel rods and bars - or any stainless product, for that matter - can get really confusing. The ‘grade’ of a stainless alloy product denotes precisely what its intended application or environmental resistance will be, and this is dictated by both the specific chemical/elemental makeup of the alloy in question, as well as any finishing or treatment process it has undergone after casting.Intermediate sized Stainless Steel Round Bars with diameters such as 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 2.1/4”, 2.1/2” & 3” will usually be Smooth Turned, although some sizes are Bright Ground. Generally in 3.000 to 3.200 Metre lengths although in certain sizes longer lengths are available. Commonly in Grades T303, T304, T316, T321, T410, T420 & Grade T431. 1/8″ Diameter Stainless Steel Round Bar You may actually be better off with a lower grade of heat resistance in most non-specialised environments or installations

Stainless steel is not especially ductile or malleable, certainly without extensive annealing, but reasonably good for welding Hygienic, low-maintenance and non-reactive with many substances Certain types of equipment, for example medical machinery, can be extremely sensitive to even low-level magnetic properties, and it’s important to source the right type of stainless steel bars and rods for use in these critical environments How much am I looking to spend, both now and in the future? Typically, austenitic steels will be more weldable than most other alloys, but there are exceptions depending on the types of stainless steel finishes and treatments you may requireGenerally in 3.000 to 3.200 Metre lengths although in certain sizes longer lengths are available. Commonly in Grades T303, T304, T316, T321, T410, T420 & Grade T431. 3mm Diameter Stainless Steel Round Bar Nonferrous metal rods- These types are rods that contain no form of iron metal or alloy, these products have a range of benefits depending on the types of metal used in the makeup. Our Stainless Steel Round Bar range can be cut size to suit your requirements. They are available in non standard sizes in both Metric and Imperial and in a wide variety of grades, including: 303, 304, 316, 321, 410, 420 and 431.
