Stainless Steel 416 Hex Bars are a martensitic stainless steel grade that has been enhanced with sulfur to boost machinability. Typically, their composition includes 12–14% chromium, 0.15% carbon, 0.15% sulfur, along with trace amounts of manganese and silicon. These hex bars not only offer moderate corrosion resistance but can also be heat-treated to achieve greater hardness and wear resistance. In terms of mechanical properties, they boast a tensile strength of 700–850 MPa, a yield strength of around 450–500 MPa, and a hardness that ranges from 200–300 HB. These characteristics make Stainless Steel 416 Hex Bars perfect for applications that demand toughness, precision, and efficient machining.

You’ll find Stainless Steel 416 Hex Bars widely utilized in various applications that require excellent machinability, moderate corrosion resistance, and reliable strength. They are often used in the production of fasteners, shafts, gears, valves, pump components, and precision engineering parts. Their unique blend of hardness, durability, and ease of machining makes them ideal for automotive components, industrial machinery, and tools that face moderate stress and wear. Additionally, they find their place in chemical processing equipment, fittings, and structural components where efficiency in fabrication and low maintenance are key.
SS 416 contains higher sulfur content for improved machinability, but this reduces its corrosion resistance compared to other stainless steel grades like SS 304 or SS 316. The sulfur content interferes with the formation of a protective oxide layer, making SS 416 more susceptible to corrosion in aggressive environments.
SS 416 hex bars are commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries. Their primary applications include shafts, valves, pump components, and fasteners. Due to their excellent machinability, they are ideal for producing precise parts in high-volume machining environments, especially where moderate corrosion resistance is required.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
