The Stainless Steel Flat Bars are produced developing an alloy based on nickel-chromium with little additions of copper, manganese, molybdenum, and silicon. The SS Flat Bar’s corrosion resistance properties are excellent 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 amazing 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 S30400 Flat Bars also have higher oxidation properties even at cold temperatures.
