Production procedure: Raw elements (C, Fe, Ni, Mn, Cr and Cu), smelted into ingots by AOD finery, hot rolled into black surface, pickling into acid liquid, polished by automatically machine and cutting into pieces Standards: ASTM A276, A484, A564, A581, A582, EN 10272, JIS4303, JIS G 431, JIS G 4311 and JIS G 4318 Dimensions: Hot-rolled: Ø5.5 to 110mm Cold-drawn: Ø2 to 50mm forged: Ø110 to 500mm Normal length: 1000 to 6000mm Tolerance: h9&h11 Features: Nice appearance of cold-rolled product gloss Nice high temperature strength Nice work-hardening (after processing weakly magnetic) Non-magnetic state solution Suitable for architectural, construction and other applications Applications: Construction field, ships building industry Decoration materials and outdoor publicity billboard Bus inside and outside packaging and building and springs Handrails, electroplating and electrolyzing pendants and foods Corrosion- and abrasion-free to meet specific requirements of various machinery and hardware fields Hex Bars are a 6-sided parallelogram shaped solid steel bar which can be used in machining and engineering applications. Selected branches stock a basic range of 316 Grade Stainless Steel Hex Bars. All these stocked 316 Grade stainless steel hex bars can be cut to your sizes with no minimum size, so you only pay for what you need*. (* limits and cutting charges will apply)The majority of 316 Stainless steel hex bars will be hot rolled or cold drawn.  Selection of your hex bar may require these different manufactured types of stainless steel hex bar.    If you require certain special properties for your stainless steel hex bar please be sure to specify your requirements prior to placing your order.Unlike mild steel the chemistry of stainless steels means the processes and methods for protecting and finishing 316 Grade Stainless Steel are vastly different to mild steels. Most surface finishes for stainless steel will be mechanically (Polishing) or chemically (Passivating) applied. The correct surface finish will have substantial impacts on the performance and appearance of your stainless steel. One of the most important considerations for the performance and appearance Stainless Steels is cleanliness. Surfaces need to be kept free from particles of other metals especially alloy or carbon steels. Timber also has contaminants that will leech and stain stainless steels.
