The Stainless Steel Flat Bars are manufactured utilizing an alloy based on nickel-chromium with minimal additions of copper, manganese, molybdenum, and silicon. The SS Flat Bar’s corrosion resistance properties are flawless in a variety of atmospheric areas and many corrosive media. The Stainless Steel 316L Flat Bars undergo tension 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 welding characteristics. The Stainless Steel 304 Flat Bars are used for applications under extreme corrosive environments. The Stainless Steel 201 Flat Bars‘ machinability properties are outstanding and can be welded using all conventional welding methods. The SS UNS S30400 Flat Bars also provide higher oxidation properties even at sub-zero temperatures.
