Performance Attributes

Tensile & Bending Strength

Our ​stainless steel round rod bar in ​AISI 304 delivers tensile strength up to 750 MPa, ideal for structural components requiring both corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity, such as ​stainless steel bare welding filler rod in marine or chemical environments. ​AISI 201 (650–750 MPa) offers a cost-effective alternative for indoor applications like decorative frameworks, while ​AISI 430 (450–600 MPa) excels in mildly corrosive settings like automotive exhaust systems.

 

Identification & Traceability

Each ​stainless steel round rod bar is laser-etched with a unique identifier (e.g., "304-Ø20x6M") that includes grade, diameter, and batch number. This aligns with ASTM/JIS standards and simplifies quality control for projects requiring precision, such as ​double bar MG9-7 engraved stainless steel rods scribe for tool calibration.

 

Weight Calculation

Calculate the weight of a ​stainless steel round rod bar using:

  • ​AISI 304/201: Density = 7.93 g/cm³ → A 20 mm rod weighs ​2.48 kg/m.
  • ​AISI 430: Density = 7.70 g/cm³ → A 20 mm rod weighs ​2.41 kg/m.

Why Stainless Steel Can Rust

Despite its corrosion resistance, ​stainless steel round rod bar may rust under specific conditions:

  1. ​Chloride Exposure: Prolonged contact with seawater or de-icing salts can degrade the passive chromium oxide layer, particularly in ​AISI 430 (lower nickel content).
  2. ​Galvanic Corrosion: Direct contact with carbon steel in humid environments accelerates oxidation. Use insulating materials for ​stainless steel bare welding filler rod in mixed-metal assemblies.
  3. ​Surface Contamination: Iron particles from machining tools can embed into stainless steel, causing localized rust. Passivation (nitric acid treatment) restores corrosion resistance.

Manufacturing & Processing

  • ​Cold Drawing: Precision cold drawing ensures ±0.05 mm tolerance for ​double bar MG9-7 engraved stainless steel rods scribe, optimized for CNC machining.
  • ​Heat Treatment: ​AISI 304 undergoes solution annealing (1,050–1,100°C) to eliminate sensitization and enhance intergranular corrosion resistance.
  • ​Surface Finishing: Electropolishing (for ​AISI 304) reduces surface roughness (Ra ≤0.4 μm), minimizing bacterial adhesion in food processing.

Applications

  • ​Precision Tooling: ​Double bar MG9-7 engraved stainless steel rods scribe for measurement instruments and industrial scribers.
  • ​Welding & Fabrication: ​Stainless steel bare welding filler rod (AISI 309L) for joining dissimilar metals like 304L and 439 stainless steels.
  • ​Architectural Frameworks: Custom ​stainless steel round rod bar (AISI 201) for cost-effective indoor railings and decorative structures.

Why Choose Our Stainless Steel Round Rod Bar?

  1. ​Material Versatility: Choose from ​201, ​304, or ​430 grades to balance corrosion resistance, strength, and budget.
  2. ​Certified Precision: ASTM/EN-compliant production with full traceability (mill test reports included).
  3. ​Custom Solutions: Tailor diameters (6–150 mm), lengths (up to 12 m), and finishes for seamless integration into ​stainless steel bare welding filler rod or scribe tools.
  4. ​Technical Support: Free engineering consultations for corrosion prevention, welding parameters, and load calculations.
