FAQ
1. What is the difference between 201, 304, and 316L stainless steel round bars?

The main differences are corrosion resistance, nickel content, and application:

  • 201: Cost-effective, good strength, suitable for indoor and general industrial use.
  • 304: Excellent corrosion resistance and versatility, ideal for food processing, construction, and machinery.
  • 316L: Superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and seawater, making it ideal for marine, chemical, pharmaceutical, and medical industries.
2. Do you offer precision ground stainless steel bars?

Yes. We provide precision ground stainless steel rods with excellent dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finish, and tight tolerances. These are ideal for CNC machining, precision components, shafts, and industrial equipment.

3. Which stainless steel grade is best for corrosive environments?

For highly corrosive or marine environments, 316L stainless steel is the preferred choice because its molybdenum content provides outstanding resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chloride attack. For general applications, 304 stainless steel offers an excellent balance of performance and cost.

4. What surface finishes are available?

We offer multiple surface finishes, including:

  • Hot Rolled
  • Cold Drawn
  • Bright
  • Precision Ground
  • Peeled
  • Polished (180G, 240G, 320G, 400G, Mirror Finish)

Custom finishes are also available upon request.
