Louis Metals is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 422 Rods and Bars from Houston, USA. A heat and oxidation-resistant material, SS 422 is mostly utilized in high-temperature applications. Our stainless steel rods and bars are produced to austere aerospace and power generation standards. Composition & Mechanical Properties
Louis Metals provides dimensional integrity, strength, and consistency with sophisticated manufacturing processes. With a solid inventory base and customizations available, we offer applications that need reliable performance under thermal and mechanical stress.
Stainless Steel 422 has around 11.0–13.0% Chromium and 0.20–0.25% Carbon, with molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium for added strength. Its heat-treated tensile strength is as high as 1000–1400 MPa, and it has great creep and fatigue resistance. SS 422 is magnetic and can be heat-treated, with high mechanical properties at high temperatures. It also has good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance up to 1200°F (649°C).
