Renowned for their superior machinability and strength, these products are made using modern production methods and rigorous quality control measures. Louis Metals is dedicated to providing consistent, on-time service and high-quality stainless steel solutions for domestic and international customers alike. With extensive experience and an enduring passion for customer satisfaction, the company underwrites everything from small fabrication to large-scale industrial projects to meet clients’ needs.
Stainless Steel 416 Round Bar Rods are produced from a free-machining martensitic stainless steel with a typical composition of 12–14% chromium and a controlled sulfur content for improved machinability. The bars have a tensile strength of 550–700 MPa, yield strength of approximately 275 MPa, and elongation of approximately 15%. 416 stainless is magnetic when in the annealed and hardened states and is readily heat treated for hardness and wear enhancement. These round bars and rods possess smooth finishes, close dimensional tolerance, and are well suited for turning, milling, and other machining processes that call for tight tolerances and hardness.

Stainless Steel 416 Round Bars and Rods find extensive application where there is a need for high-speed machining and moderate resistance to corrosion. Common applications are motor shafts, studs, fasteners, gears, and bushings in automotive, aerospace, construction, and general engineering industries. Their hardenability makes them best suited for wear parts such as pump shafts, valve components, and precision-crafted fittings. These bars are also widely used in the production of tools and mechanical parts where strength, precision, and economy matter. The perfect machinability and reliable mechanical properties of 416 round bars make them an ideal option for large volume production requirements.
