About 304 steel stainless bar Data

SUS304 stainless steel bars are versatile long products featuring the standard 18-8 austenitic composition. Available in various cross-sections—most commonly round (Round Bar), but also hexagonal and square—these bars are essential raw materials for precision machining and structural components.

Key Features

Excellent Machinability: Ideal for lathe operations, making them the standard choice for manufacturing bolts, nuts, valves, and shafts.
Balanced Properties: Offers a reliable combination of high corrosion resistance and the mechanical strength required for industrial components.
Peeled Bars: Produced by removing the outer layer of a hot-rolled bar to eliminate surface defects, offering practical dimensional accuracy.
Cold-Drawn (Bright) Bars: Finished via cold-drawing to achieve tight tolerances and a smooth, reflective metallic luster.
Magnetic Properties: Non-magnetic in its standard state, though it may exhibit slight magnetism if subjected to significant cold-working during the drawing process.
