Neil Metals is known for offering corrosion-free, long-lasting, and price-effective stainless steel solutions that are customized according to the precise needs of clients from different industries.
Neil Metals’ Stainless Steel 304 Bars and Rods are produced using an austenitic stainless steel alloy with about 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel. This alloy provides good corrosion resistance, satisfactory forming and welding properties, and superior strength. Other components are Manganese, Silicon, and a low amount of Carbon content (up to 0.08%). The material generally has a tensile strength of 515–750 MPa, a yield strength of 205 MPa, and elongation of approximately 40%. SS 304 retains its mechanical strength over a broad range of temperatures and can be used under both cryogenic and high-temperature conditions without loss of performance or strength.
