Stainless Steel 304 is an austenitic chromium-nickel alloy that contains around 18–20% chromium and 8–10.5% nickel. This composition gives it excellent corrosion resistance, good strength, and remarkable weldability. The alloy boasts a tensile strength of about 515 MPa, a yield strength of 205 MPa, and an elongation of roughly 40%. It is non-magnetic when annealed and offers great formability and fabrication characteristics. SS 304 retains its mechanical integrity across a wide range of environments, making it one of the most versatile and widely used stainless steel grades globally.

Standard sizes for SS 304 hex bars/rods typically range from 1/8" to 6" in diameter. Custom sizes, lengths, and finishes are generally available upon request, depending on the supplier's capabilities and production methods.
SS 304 hex bars/rods can be welded and fabricated into complex shapes with relative ease. It offers good weldability, but pre-welding surface preparation and proper techniques are necessary to avoid distortion or degradation of material properties.
SS 304 offers good strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for many applications. Compared to other grades like SS 316, it has slightly lower corrosion resistance, especially in chloride environments, but SS 304 is more cost-effective and widely used.
Stainless Steel 304 Hex Bars and Rods find extensive applications across various industries due to their strength, resistance to corrosion, and ease of fabrication. In the food and beverage industry, they are commonly used in equipment, sinks, and storage tanks because of their hygienic properties. In construction, 304 hex bars serve as structural supports, handrails, and architectural elements. They are also utilized in automotive parts, marine fittings, and chemical processing equipment. Furthermore, SS 304 is ideal for textile machinery, heat exchangers, and pharmaceutical applications, where reliable performance and resistance to oxidation in diverse environments are crucial.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
