Stainless Steel 316L Rectangular Bars are made from low-carbon austenitic stainless steel, containing about 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum. The lower carbon content improves resistance to sensitization and intergranular corrosion during welding. This material showcases a tensile strength of around 485–690 MPa, along with impressive toughness, ductility, and reliable weldability. Its exceptional corrosion resistance, paired with good formability and dimensional stability, makes 316L rectangular bars perfect for applications that demand long-lasting performance in challenging chemical, marine, and industrial settings.
