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. This makes a good steel rod the ideal choice in high-temperature environments. They do not absorb a lot of heat. As such, they’ll provide a cool atmosphere in buildings. As a poor conductor of electricity, a stainless steel pole is a right option for insulating materials around electric fields. 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.

A steel rod offers a wide variety of applications. They are highly versatile due to their high resistance to weather extremities and other external factors. These hard metal bars are prevalent in our environment. But just how familiar are you with the properties and applications of a steel bar?

For instance, you’ll find a stainless steel pole in use during the erection of elaborate buildings. They also feature in household fixtures and food-grade utensils. The best steel bar offers incredible resistance to corrosion. Hence, they are a preferred choice in marine facilities and marine vessels. Furthermore, they also find applications in the water treatment and supply industry. A hollow stainless steel round bar or round tubes , can ferry huge volumes of water across great distances without reacting with the fluid flowing through. We are also a recognised metal supplier for our comprehensive range of aluminium products and would recommend comparing these metal rods with aluminium rod, aluminium round tubes, aluminium flat bar and aluminium square tubes. 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.

During the manufacturing process, a stainless steel round bar will go through several processes and additions that can alter its chemical composition. The end products vary depending on the chemical makeup within their structure. 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. The terms steel rod and bar are often used interchangeably. However, there is a slight difference in their physical structure. Bear in mind however that either version can be used for the same construction job. A high-quality stainless steel round bar has incredible toughness and strength, especially for construction purposes. They are incredibly rigid and can support several tons of weight.

PH stainless steel : This stainless steel bar is precipitation hardened. Consequently, it works best for use in manufacturing fittings and valves. A stainless steel round bar grade is what dictates the overall resistance and intended application. Mostly, this is a function of the chemical makeup and finishing treatment of the steel round bar.

A steel rod is also useful in the manufacture of medical supplies as well as oil and gas pipelines. Hauling services equally benefit from the versatility of steel bars . They are mainly used in the production of transport components like tankers and containers. Are you looking for a 5mm stainless steel rod bar or a 4mm steel bar for your kitchen frame? Will a 10mm stainless steel rod or a 12mm steel round bar fit your needs? Whichever size or dimension you need is available. We deliver a free custom cutting service too and will happily cut to size any raw materials. However, with great power comes great weight. A steel bar may be very heavy and will require powerful machinery to carry it.A stainless steel rod, or stainless steel bar, is commonly used in construction because of its durability and resistance to rusting. 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.
