Chung Metal, located in Đà Nẵng, Vietnam, produces high-performance Stainless Steel 431 Hollow Bars for high-strength applications where good corrosion resistance is needed. SS 431 is a martensitic stainless steel that can be heat-treated to produce excellent hardness and mechanical characteristics. Chung Metal has hollow bars with exacting bore tolerances and fine surface finishes suitable for machining and pressure-containing components. These bars are both corrosion and wear resistant, and thus appropriate for marine, aerospace, and mechanical applications. Their lightweight hollow structure makes them ideal for efficient and cost-effective component design.
SS 431 has a composition of 15–17% chromium, 1.25–2.5% nickel, and up to 0.20% carbon. It is ferromagnetic and can be hardened to attain tensile strengths of 850–1100 MPa and yield strength of 600–800 MPa. Elongation is between 10–20%, with good toughness in the quenched and tempered state. The hollow structure maintains these mechanical properties with minimum material weight. SS 431 provides satisfactory corrosion resistance, particularly in water and mild chemical conditions. It can be welded in the annealed condition and machined after heat treatment.

Yes, SS 431 can be welded easily using appropriate techniques such as TIG or MIG welding. However, preheating and post-weld heat treatment may be required to reduce the risk of cracking and ensure optimal strength and corrosion resistance.
SS 431 Hollow Bar is commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and chemical processing. It is utilized for manufacturing components like shafts, valves, pumps, and fittings, where high strength, corrosion resistance, and durability are essential.
Common sizes for SS 431 Hollow Bar typically range from 25 mm to 500 mm in outer diameter, with wall thicknesses varying from 3 mm to 50 mm. Custom sizes may also be available depending on specific requirements or suppliers.
431 hollow bars are commonly used in marine shafts, pumps, valves, hydraulic cylinders, bushings, and precision-machined parts. The balance of strength and moderate resistance to corrosion makes them suitable for oil & gas hardware, aerospace components, and pressure-containing components. Their hollow structure minimizes raw material cost and machining effort and is thus most suited for lightweight mechanical designs. Chung Metal offers SS 431 hollow bars in different bore sizes and wall thicknesses, engineered for high-load applications in industries needing structural efficiency, structural performance, and satisfactory wear resistance under mildly corrosive conditions.
