Dhruv Metals, based in Hyderabad, India, is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 316H Bars and Rods, crafted for exceptional strength at high temperatures and outstanding resistance to corrosion. This high-carbon variant of the standard 316 grade not only enhances creep resistance but also boosts tensile and yield strength when the heat is on. At Dhruv Metals, we ensure our SS 316H bars and rods are manufactured to meet international standards, making them perfect for demanding environments like power plants, refineries, and chemical processing facilities.
Our Stainless Steel 316H Bars and Rods are made up of chromium (16.0–18.0%), nickel (10.0–14.0%), molybdenum (2.0–3.0%), and carbon (0.04–0.10%), along with trace amounts of manganese, silicon, phosphorus, and sulfur. These bars boast a tensile strength of 515 MPa, a yield strength of 205 MPa, an elongation of 40%, and a Brinell hardness of up to 217 HB. The increased carbon content not only boosts strength but also ensures stability at high temperatures, making them ideal for pressure-containing and structural components that face thermal stress.

Stainless Steel 316H has a higher carbon content than regular 316, which provides improved strength and makes it ideal for high-temperature applications. It can withstand higher stress and heat, making it suitable for demanding industries like petrochemical and power generation.
Yes, Stainless Steel 316H is highly resistant to corrosion, especially in chloride-rich and high-temperature environments. The addition of molybdenum enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it suitable for marine and chemical industries.
Yes, Stainless Steel 316H is highly weldable, and it retains excellent strength and corrosion resistance even after welding. However, it is recommended to use low-carbon electrodes for welding to maintain its corrosion resistance and structural integrity.
Stainless Steel 316H Bars and Rods are commonly found in high-temperature and high-pressure settings. You’ll often see them in applications like heat exchangers, pressure vessels, boilers, chemical tanks, furnace parts, and components used in oil and gas refineries. This alloy shines in chloride-laden and acidic environments, providing excellent resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and oxidation. With its impressive mechanical strength, along with superior weldability and corrosion resistance, SS 316H is the go-to material for tough structural and process equipment in challenging industrial conditions.
