Stainless Steel Round Bar - Cut to Size

Our Stainless Steel Round Bar is available in three different grades: 316, 304, and 303.

Grade 316 is an austenitic grade of stainless steel bar, often referred to as 'marine grade'. This grade has excellent corrosion resistance and good machining properties, making it ideal for applications in marine environments or where corrosion is a concern.

Grade 304 is the most versatile and widely used stainless steel. It is sometimes referred to by its old name, 18/8, which is derived from the nominal composition of type 304 being 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This grade is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Grade 303 is the most readily machinable of all the austenitic grades of stainless steel. The machinable nature of grade 303 is due to the presence of Sulphur in the steel composition. While it has slightly lower corrosion resistance than grade 304, it is still suitable for a wide range of applications where machining is a priority.
