Louis Metals provides high–quality Stainless Steel 446 Rods and Bars in Houston, USA, renowned for their superior oxidation and corrosion resistance in aggressive high-temperature conditions. SS 446 is a ferritic, heat-resistant stainless steel well adapted to thermal and chemical conditions. Louis Metals provides special lengths, diameters, and finishes to industrial customers. Our SS 446 products are utilized in critical systems where temperature stability and corrosion resistance are paramount.
446 Stainless Steel has 23.0–27.0% Chromium and extremely low carbon (maximum 0.20%). It provides superior resistance against oxidation, sulfidation, and scaling at temperatures up to 2200°F (1204°C). Its yield strength is generally 276 MPa, tensile strength approximately 485 MPa, and is non-hardenable by heat treatment. It has low room temperature strength but is satisfactory for high-temperature corrosive service.
