Stainless Steel Rod Round Bar Rod 8mm x 600mm

Product Information

The degree of magnetic response in stainless steel is dictated by its microstructure, and certain types of stainless alloys can therefore be manipulated at the processing stage to be more or less magnetic 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. 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: 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!

The overall strength of stainless steel products often has an inverse relationship to its corrosion resistance, so getting the balance right is important 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.

Be aware that the strongest stainless alloys available may be unsuitable for structural use in 95% of applications and environments Hexagonal Bar– More commonly known as a Hex bar, the hexagonal bar is a length of six-sided bar with its diameter measured across two opposing flat faces. This unit of measure is referred to as AC for Across Flats. We supply stainless steel bars in grades 304 and 316. Grade 304 is a general purpose grade which is excellent for welding. Grade 316 has outstanding corrosive resistance. It is therefore commonly used outdoors, or in particularly harsh settings like marine environments. Stainless Steel Round Bars have many great attributes. They are hard, strong, and have excellent anticorrosive properties.

Like all metals and alloys, stainless steel rods and bars have a base cost depending on their innate quality, their expected performance against certain environmental hazards, and their predicted life cycle when used in appropriate circumstancesStainless steel doesn’t conduct heat particularly well, meaning it can be used in higher temperature applications than some other metals. It’s also a poor conductor of electricity by metallic standards Relatively expensive compared to many other metal types Fairly difficult to work We have an extensive collection of stainless steel rods for sale with diameters ranging from 3mm to 152mm. The standard length for the stainless steel rods we supply is approximately three metres but we can also cut a rod to length for you up to five metres. 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. 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 In many cases, Grades 303 & 304 are interchangeable, however there are slight differences in each of the grades composition which make either of them the obvious choice for certain applications.
