With a strong focus on precision engineering and a commitment to quality, Starc Metals delivers stainless steel products that are not only durable but also resistant to corrosion, making them perfect for the demanding needs of various industries. Thanks to their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and rigorous quality control processes, every 304L hex bar and rod is crafted to provide outstanding performance, strength, and longevity. Catering to clients in construction, chemical, and mechanical sectors, Starc Metals is recognized for its dependability, consistency, and a customer-centric approach in stainless steel fabrication.
The Stainless Steel 304L Hex Bars and Rods are crafted from an austenitic chromium-nickel alloy with a low carbon content, typically featuring 18–20% chromium, 8–12% nickel, and a maximum of 0.03% carbon. This specific composition boosts corrosion resistance and reduces carbide precipitation during welding. On the mechanical side, 304L boasts a tensile strength of about 485 MPa, a yield strength of 170 MPa, and impressive elongation (40%). With a Brinell hardness of around 170 HB, it strikes a perfect balance between strength, ductility, and machinability, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

SS 304L hex bars/rods are typically available in sizes ranging from 3.17mm to 350mm in diameter, with lengths of 2 to 7.5 meters. These bars come in various finishes, such as polished or cold-drawn. Custom sizes and specifications can also be produced upon request to meet specific needs.
Yes, SS 304L hex bars/rods are highly weldable and suitable for fabrication into complex shapes. Their low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, reducing the risk of corrosion. This material's excellent ductility and toughness allow easy forming, machining, and fabrication, making it ideal for intricate designs and applications.
SS 304L has lower carbon content than standard 304, reducing carbide precipitation and enhancing corrosion resistance, particularly after welding. While slightly lower in strength compared to higher-carbon grades like 304 or 316, it maintains excellent toughness and durability. SS 316 offers superior corrosion resistance in chloride environments due to added molybdenum.
Stainless Steel 304L Hex Bars and Rods are popular across various industries due to their strength, formability, and resistance to oxidation and corrosion. They are particularly well-suited for chemical processing equipment, food and beverage machinery, marine components, architectural structures, and heat exchangers. In the realms of engineering and construction, these bars and rods find their place in shafts, fasteners, supports, and fittings. Their low carbon content makes them ideal for welded structures and piping systems where intergranular corrosion resistance is crucial. With their versatility, durability, and appealing finish, they are a favored choice for both industrial and decorative uses.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
