Louis Metals, a reputable stainless steel manufacturer and supplier based in Houston, USA, proudly offers top-notch Stainless Steel 304L Hex Bars and Rods. These products are well-known for their outstanding corrosion resistance, weldability, and versatility. The 304L grade is a low-carbon variant of 304, making it particularly ideal for welding and situations where sensitization might be an issue. Our 304L hex bars and rods are crafted to meet ASTM standards and come in various sizes and finishes. Louis Metals ensures that our durable and precisely machined 304L products cater to industries such as food processing, petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, and marine equipment manufacturing.
Stainless Steel 304L Hex Bars/Rods consist of 18–20% chromium, 8–12% nickel, and a maximum carbon content of 0.03%. This low carbon level boosts resistance to intergranular corrosion, especially post-welding. The alloy boasts a tensile strength ranging from 485–620 MPa, a yield strength of about 170–240 MPa, and a Brinell hardness of 140–190 HB. 304L maintains excellent formability, strength, and corrosion resistance across various environments. It is non-magnetic in its annealed state and retains toughness and durability at both cryogenic and elevated temperatures, making it a dependable choice for structural and industrial applications.
