The Stainless Steel Flat Bars are made developing an alloy based on nickel-chromium with little additions of copper, manganese, molybdenum, and silicon. The SS Flat Bar’s resistance to corrosion properties are optimal 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 extreme corrosive environments. The Stainless Steel 316 Flat Bars’ machinability properties are outstanding and can be welded using all conventional welding methods. The SS UNS S30400 Flat Bars also offer higher oxidation properties even at sub-zero temperatures.
