Vipul Sheets and Plates is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 316 Hex Bars and Rods in Delhi, India. These hexagonal bars are commonly used in marine, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing industries because of their excellent corrosion resistance and strength. SS 316 is a molybdenum-bearing grade that provides great protection against pitting and crevice corrosion, even in chloride-rich environments. Our 316 hex bars are machined with precision, ensuring accurate dimensions and a great surface finish. Vipul offers custom sizes and quick delivery, making us a preferred supplier for clients needing high-quality stainless steel products for critical and demanding applications.
Stainless Steel 316 contains about 16–18% Chromium, 10–14% Nickel, and 2–3% Molybdenum. This mix offers great resistance to corrosion, especially in acidic and chloride-rich settings. SS 316 has a tensile strength of 515–690 MPa and a yield strength of around 205 MPa. It also provides good elongation (≥40%) and excellent weldability. Its durability and resistance to oxidation make it suitable for both high and low temperature environments. The hexagonal shape enhances mechanical grip, which is useful for fastening, construction, and structural uses.

SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods are highly resistant to corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments like marine settings. Their durability against pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking makes them ideal for marine and chemical applications. Additionally, their high-temperature resistance and strength enhance performance in harsh conditions.
SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods are commonly used in industries such as marine, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and aerospace. Their superior corrosion resistance protects against rust, pitting, and chemical damage, making them ideal for harsh environments, ensuring longevity, reliability, and reduced maintenance costs in critical applications.
SS 316 Hex Bars/Rods can be easily welded and machined, but precautions are needed. During welding, pre-heating and post-weld heat treatment are recommended to prevent cracking. Use appropriate filler materials for optimal strength. For machining, ensure proper tooling to avoid work hardening and maintain smooth surfaces.
Stainless Steel 316 Hex Bars and Rods are commonly used in marine hardware, shipbuilding, and saltwater equipment due to their corrosion resistance. In the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, they are utilized in reactor vessels, process piping, and storage tanks. They can also be found in food processing, architectural frameworks, textile machinery, and fastener manufacturing. Hex bars are ideal for valve stems, pump shafts, and bolts because of their machinability and strength. Their shape provides added grip for mechanical fastening and assembly. SS 316’s durability in harsh environments makes it a top choice for long-term structural applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
