The Stainless Steel Flat Bars are manufactured using an alloy based on nickel-chromium with minimal additions of copper, manganese, molybdenum, and silicon. The SS Flat Bar’s corrosion resistance properties are flawless in a variety of atmospheric conditions and many corrosive media. The Stainless Steel 304L Flat Bars experience stress corrosion cracking above approximately 60 degrees C. SS Flat bar crevices and rough surface finish lead in noticeable corrosion of the metal. With significant welding properties, the UNS S30400 Stainless Steel Flat Bars have excellent forming characteristics. The Stainless Steel 304 Flat Bars are used for applications under extreme corrosive environments. The Stainless Steel 316 Flat Bars’ machinability properties are outstanding and can be welded using all traditional welding methods. The SS UNS S30400 Flat Bars also offer higher oxidation properties even at cold temperatures.
