Chung Metal offers corrosion-resistant Stainless Steel 316L Rectangular Bars, a low-carbon variant of SS 316 that is highly weldable and resistant to intergranular corrosion. SS 316L is commonly used in applications where welding is necessary and where corrosion due to chlorides or acidic chemicals is possible. Rectangular bar shape is best suited for machine frames, base plates, and chemical, marine, and food processing industrial fabrications. Chung Metal provides precision-fabricated 316L rectangular bars of consistent thickness, smooth finishes, and high structural integrity for long-term industrial applications.
SS 316L has 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, 2–3% molybdenum, and up to 0.03% carbon. It provides tensile strength of 485–690 MPa, yield strength of 170–310 MPa, and elongation of 40% or higher. It is non-magnetic and retains a high corrosion resistance, particularly after welding. The flat profile offers flatness and structural stability for heavy-duty conditions. Chung Metal provides SS 316L rectangular bars in annealed, pickled, and precision cut conditions ideal for welding-rich environments.

The pressure rating of Stainless Steel 316L Rectangular Bars depends on factors such as size, wall thickness, and application. Generally, they are suitable for medium to high-pressure environments, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and strength.
Yes, Stainless Steel 316L Rectangular Bars should undergo regular inspection to ensure they maintain their strength and corrosion resistance. This is particularly important in critical applications such as marine, chemical, and high-pressure environments.
When installing Stainless Steel 316L Rectangular Bars, ensure proper alignment, adequate support, and secure fastening to prevent stress or deformation. It's also crucial to avoid contamination during installation to maintain their corrosion resistance.
316L rectangular bars are applied in pharmaceutical machinery, welded vessels, marine construction, heat exchangers, pulp and paper processing, and chemical systems. The low carbon ensures that during welding there is no precipitation of carbides, making it suitable for welded pressure vessels, brine systems, and sanitary food processing equipment. The rectangular shape is conducive to frames, supports, machinery bases, and platform structures. SS 316L is used in high-corrosion and cleanability-demanding industries, for example, medical, marine, petrochemical, and food-grade production. Chung Metal provides these bars in project-specific sizes and surface finishes.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
