Stainless Steel 304L Hex Bars and Rods are the low-carbon variants of 304 stainless steel, featuring about 18–20% chromium, 8–12% nickel, and a maximum carbon content of 0.03%. This lower carbon content helps reduce carbide precipitation during welding, which in turn boosts corrosion resistance in welded structures. The material showcases a tensile strength of around 485 MPa, a yield strength of 170 MPa, and remarkable ductility, making it a breeze to form and weld. 304L retains high strength while offering resistance to a variety of atmospheric and chemical conditions.

SS 304L hex bars/rods are typically available in sizes ranging from 3.17mm to 350mm in diameter, with lengths of 2 to 7.5 meters. These bars come in various finishes, such as polished or cold-drawn. Custom sizes and specifications can also be produced upon request to meet specific needs.
Yes, SS 304L hex bars/rods are highly weldable and suitable for fabrication into complex shapes. Their low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, reducing the risk of corrosion. This material's excellent ductility and toughness allow easy forming, machining, and fabrication, making it ideal for intricate designs and applications.
SS 304L has lower carbon content than standard 304, reducing carbide precipitation and enhancing corrosion resistance, particularly after welding. While slightly lower in strength compared to higher-carbon grades like 304 or 316, it maintains excellent toughness and durability. SS 316 offers superior corrosion resistance in chloride environments due to added molybdenum.
These Stainless Steel 304L Hex Bars and Rods are widely utilized in settings that require exceptional corrosion resistance and a clean surface finish. You’ll often find them in food and beverage processing equipment, dairy and pharmaceutical machinery, kitchenware, architectural structures, and chemical containers. They’re also popular in marine components, heat exchangers, and piping systems thanks to their strength and durability. The hexagonal shape is particularly advantageous for fasteners, shafts, and support elements, where precision, machinability, and resistance to oxidation and corrosion are crucial.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
