About SS 304 ROUND BAR
SS 304 rods are made of 304 grade stainless steel, which is the most common stainless steel alloy in the world. They are known for their high strength and corrosion resistance, and are used in a wide variety of applications:
- Composition
- SS 304 rods are made up of 18% chromium and 8% nickel, which is why they are sometimes called 18/8.
- Uses
- SS 304 rods are used in many industries, including aerospace, food and beverage, machinery, architecture, chemicals, and cryogenics.
- Properties
- SS 304 rods are resistant to corrosion, except in marine and highly corrosive environments. They are also versatile and can be used for many processing techniques.
- Appearance
- SS 304 rods have a semi-smooth, dull gray finish and sharp edges.
- Welding
- SS 304 rods have excellent welding characteristics and are annealed after welding to improve their corrosion resistance.
- Applications
- SS 304 rods are ideal for applications that take place at high temperatures and pressure.
