The Stainless Steel Flat Bars are made utilizing an alloy made from nickel-chromium with minimal additions of copper, manganese, molybdenum, and silicon. The SS Flat Bar’s resistance to corrosion properties are excellent in a variety of atmospheric areas and many corrosive media. The Stainless Steel 316 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 201 Flat Bars are used for applications under extreme corrosive environments. The Stainless Steel 316 Flat Bars’ machinability features are exceptional and can be welded using all conventional welding methods. The SS UNS S31603 Flat Bars also have higher oxidation properties even at cold temperatures.
