Key Properties & Manufacturing Process
Our stainless steel metal rods are crafted using advanced forging, casting, and CNC machining techniques. The alloys undergo controlled heat treatment (quenching and tempering) to optimize strength and corrosion resistance. Key attributes include:
- Tensile Strength:
- 304/316: 515–860 MPa
- 17-4 PH: Up to 1,103 MPa (precipitation-hardened)
- 410: 480–1,720 MPa (heat-treated)
- Bending Strength: Resists deformation under stress, with yield strengths ranging from 210 MPa (304 annealed) to 1,050 MPa (cold-worked).
Identification & Marking
Stainless steel metal rods follow global standards for traceability:
- AISI/SAE: Grade codes (e.g., 304, 316L) laser-etched on the surface.
- ISO: Chemical composition labels (e.g., X5CrNi18-10 for 304).
- Batch Numbers: Ensure compliance with ASTM A276 (bars and shapes) and ASME SB479 (welding rods).
Weight Calculation
Calculate rod weight using the formula:
Example: A 20mm diameter, 6m-long 316 rod weighs approximately 15.08 kg.
Why Does Stainless Steel Rust?
While stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, improper use or environments can cause rust:
- Chloride Exposure: Saltwater or bleach damages the chromium oxide layer.
- Low Chromium Content: Grades with <10.5% Cr lose passivation.
- Galvanic Corrosion: Contact with dissimilar metals (e.g., carbon steel) accelerates oxidation.
- High Temperatures: Prolonged exposure above 800°C degrades protective films.
- Surface Contamination: Iron particles from tools induce pitting.
Regular cleaning with nitric acid solutions restores the oxide layer and prevents rust.
