Stainless Hex, Stainless Hex Bar, Stainless Steel Hex Bar, 303 Hex Bar

Stainless steel hex bars are primarily used for manufacturing components such as nuts, hex bolts and special components like Thermowells and hex head plugs, etc. All of these components are used extensively around the world in a lot of industries. RHS Stainless supplies quality hex bar in a variety of grades and sizes.

Grade 303, or the UNS S30300 stainless steel bar, is a free-machining stainless steel. Its impressive corrosion resistance and great machinability makes it one of the most popular free-machining stainless steels available. UNS S30300, or Grade 303, is extensively used in different products, starting from general machining like screws, etc. Grade 303 is not responsive to heat treatment, but its durability is impressive, as with the other austenitic grades.

Grade 304/304L or UNS S30403 as it’'s called technically, is generally is preferred due to the fact that it is the low carbon content variant of Type 304 and because it is a "“free-machining"” variant. The Grade 304/304L comes with an immense blend of corrosion resistance, strength and fabricibility, which makes it suitable for most industries. The Grade 304/304L like the Grade 303, is unresponsive to heat treatments, but the strength and hardness could be increased by using cold working.

Grade 304/304L is used in most industries.

The Grade 316/316L, also called as Grade 316 and UNS S31600 is an authenitic stainless steel that has chromium, molybdenum and nickel as its major alloying elements. The addition of molybdenum (not present in stainless steel Grade 304) is helpful for Grade 316/316L’s increased resistance in chloride and salt water environments. Grade 316/316L allows for good creep resistance in high temperatures and it has better strength compared to stainless steel 304.

Grade 316/316L is non-magnetic in annealed state, but it can become a slightly magnetic if exposed to cold temperatures for an extensive period of time. If this happens, it may require further annealing to correct. Grade 316/316L isn’t responsive to thermal treatment but its strength and hardness may be increased by cold working.

Grade 316/316L stainless steel, technically referred to as UNS S31600/S31603 or UNS S31600/S31603 is generally known as stainless steel 316/316L. Dual Certified is stainless steel Grade 316’s low carbon content modification. Grade 316/316L stainless steel is primarily used for manufacturing heavy-gage welded products. Grade 316/316L is anti carbide precipitation and it can be used within the temperature range of 797° F to 1580° F. This temperature range is more appropriate in application of connecting corrosion resistance.

Grade 416, also called UNS S41600 is a Martensitic grade of stainless steel. The Martensitic stainless steels are manufactured as an alloy, which could be toughened using heat treatment. It will also be corrosion resistant, though, not as resistant to corrosion as the ferritic or austenitic stainless steels. Stainless Steel 416 has respectable wear resistant, and is magnetic. It also is highly machinable. Its other qualities include: non-galling and non-seizing properties, sensible strength in hardened and tempered state and resistance to gently corrosive surroundings. Generally it’s ordered in T (tempered), H (hardened) and A (annealed) conditions.

Stainless Steel 416 is not approved to be used in high sulfur surroundings (MR-01-03, NACE MR-01-75). Stainless Steel 416 is in general considered as the first “free machining” stainless steel and has the capability to be easily tapped, turned, reamed, broached, threaded milled and drilled according to manufacturer's approval for different suitable tool feeds, types and speeds.
