If you’re looking for a reliable manufacturer of 316 stainless steel bars and bright bars, quality and precision matter. As one of the most widely used stainless steel grades, 316 stainless steel is known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in harsh environments like marine, chemical, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries.
What Is 316 Stainless Steel?
316 stainless steel is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless alloy with added molybdenum, which enhances corrosion resistance—especially against chlorides and acidic media. It offers:
Superior corrosion and pitting resistance
Excellent weldability and machinability
High tensile strength and durability
Common standards include ASTM A276, A484, A479, and EN 10088.
What Is a Bright Bar?
A bright bar is a steel bar that has undergone surface finishing processes such as cold drawing or centerless grinding to achieve a smooth, bright surface. Compared to black bars, bright bars are dimensionally precise and aesthetically appealing, ideal for applications requiring tight tolerances and clean finishes.
