The Stainless Steel Flat Bars are made developing an alloy made from nickel-chromium with minimal additions of copper, manganese, molybdenum, and silicon. The SS Flat Bar’s corrosion resistance properties are optimal in a variety of atmospheric conditions and many corrosive media. The Stainless Steel 316L Flat Bars undergo pressure 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 202 Flat Bars are used for applications under highly corrosive environments. The Stainless Steel 202 Flat Bars’ machinability features are exceptional and can be welded using all traditional welding methods. The SS UNS S31603 Flat Bars also provide higher oxidation properties even at sub-zero temperatures.
