The Stainless Steel Flat Bars are produced using an alloy based on 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 environments and many corrosive media. The Stainless Steel 316 Flat Bars experience tension corrosion cracking above approximately 60 degrees C. SS Flat bar crevices and rough surface finish lead in noticeable corrosion of the metal. With remarkable 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 201 Flat Bars’ machinability properties are exceptional and can be welded using all traditional welding methods. The SS UNS S30400 Flat Bars also provide higher oxidation properties even at cold temperatures.
