Chung Metal produces high-machinability Stainless Steel 416 Round Bars and Rods, a martensitic stainless steel that has been engineered for improved machining properties. SS 416 contains sulfur to enhance chip-breaking and tool life, thus it is the most machinable stainless steel. It offers moderate corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical strength. Round bar form is suitable for turned components, fasteners, and precision-machined items. Chung Metal produces 416 bars in several heat-treated conditions with high dimensional accuracy, straightness, and performance for automation production.
SS 416 has 12–14% chromium, 0.15% carbon, and sulfur added (0.15–0.35%). Its tensile strength is 550–750 MPa and yield strength is 300–600 MPa. SS 416 is magnetic, can be hardened, and has a moderate corrosion resistance. It supports high-speed turning and threading in round shape.

Yes, Stainless Steel 416 Round Bars/Rods can be recycled. As a type of stainless steel, it is fully recyclable and can be reused in the production of new materials without compromising quality.
Stainless Steel 416 Round Bars/Rods generally do not require additional corrosion protection coatings for most applications, as they offer moderate corrosion resistance due to their chromium content. However, in highly corrosive environments, coatings may be beneficial.
Yes, Stainless Steel 416 Round Bars/Rods can be welded, but it requires proper precautions due to their high carbon content. Preheating and post-weld heat treatment are often recommended to avoid cracking and ensure optimal weld strength.
416 round bars/rods are utilized in screws, gears, studs, valves, axles, motor shafts, and machined fasteners. Ideal for volume production, automatic lathes, and CNC machining, SS 416 provides good surface finishes and minimum tool wear. It is used extensively in general engineering, appliance manufacturing, and the automotive industry. While not for high-corrosion applications, it performs well in dry or mildly corrosive indoor applications. Chung Metal offers 416 bars in tempered or annealed conditions for best performance.
