Louis Metals is a prominent producer and supplier of Stainless Steel 316 Square Bars and Rods in Houston, USA, providing premium quality stainless steel products for demanding applications in marine, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Superior corrosion resistance, strength, and surface finish characterize SS 316 square bars and rods of Louis Metals, which are manufactured using high-quality raw materials and cutting-edge technology. These bars are particularly efficient in corrosive and chloride-rich environments and find use in structural and mechanical applications where performance, hygiene, and durability over the long term are essential.
Stainless Steel 316 Square Bars/Rods are molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steels with a composition of Chromium (16–18%), Nickel (10–14%), and Molybdenum (2–3%), with an up to 0.08% Carbon content. The molybdenum content gives improved resistance to crevice and pitting corrosion, especially in marine and chemical environments. SS 316 has tensile strength of 515–700 MPa and yield strength of about 205 MPa. It is non-magnetic in annealed condition, has superior weldability and formability, and retains strength and resistance to corrosion even at high temperatures and high loads.
