One of the most corrosion-resistant stainless steels, 316 withstands harsh chemicals, including bleach, chlorine, and phosphoric acid. Use these bars to create standoffs, pipe fittings, fasteners, and valves in marine and chemical-processing environments. Their molybdenum content gives them better chloride resistance than 304 while offering similar strength and heat tolerance. They have a hexagonal shape that allows for efficient torque transmission and smooth wrenching for precision fastening. Made to ASTM A484 or EN 10088-3 specifications to fit standard hex sockets and tools, these bars make parts that are easy to grab and tighten. They resist corrosion at temperatures up to 1500° F.

The most common stainless steel, 304 is a good all-around choice for corrosion resistance in a wide range of applications. Use these bars to create standoffs, pipe fittings, fasteners, and valve bodies. They have a hexagonal shape that allows for efficient torque transmission and smooth wrenching. Made to ASTM A484 or EN 10088-3 specifications to fit standard hex sockets and tools, these bars make parts that are easy to grab and tighten. They resist corrosion at temperatures up to 1500° F.

The easiest type of stainless steel to drill, mill, and turn into standoffs, fittings, and other wrench-ready parts. Made to ASTM A484 specifications to fit standard hex sockets and tools, these bars make parts that are easy to grab and tighten. They will also hold their shape after repeated tightening and loosening.

Alloyed with more sulfur than 303, 416 stainless steel breaks cleanly into chips as you work, so it won’t clog your cutting tools. Its surface doesn’t harden, even after multiple passes. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures as hot as 1200° F. However, it’s not as corrosion resistant as other types of stainless steel, such as 304 and 17-4 PH.
