Chung Metal produces and exports Stainless Steel 316L Bars and Rods that exhibit excellent corrosion resistance, especially to chlorides. 316L is a low-carbon form of 316 stainless steel with excellent weldability and less tendency for intergranular corrosion. We produce 316L in round, square, and hex bars from our plant in Da Nang, Vietnam, and these are suitable for use in marine, food processing, and chemical industries. With international compliance and quality assurance, Chung Metal is a trustworthy business partner for industries that require stainless steel bar solutions that are durable and hygienic.
316L has 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, 2–3% molybdenum, and ≤ 0.03% carbon. It has tensile strength of 485–620 MPa, yield strength of 170–275 MPa, and elongation of ≥ 40%. Low carbon content ensures the material to be excellent weldable along with lower carbide precipitation risks. 316L is not magnetic and has good resistance against pitting and crevice corrosion in chlorides.

Stainless Steel 316L contains molybdenum, which enhances resistance to chloride-induced pitting and corrosion, making it highly suitable for marine and coastal applications.
Yes, the low carbon content in 316L minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance even in heat-affected zones.
316L bars and rods are widely used in marine, chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing, and medical industries due to their corrosion resistance and durability.
316L rods and bars are perfect for extreme conditions like marine, chemical processing, and desalination. They are incorporated in pumps, valves, heat exchangers, flanges, and pharmaceutical machinery. Its non-reactive property makes it perfect for food-grade and medical-grade machinery. Applications involving hygienic, corrosion-resistant parts under constant welding conditions demand 316L for reliability and extended service life.
