Desta Steel, a prominent stainless steel manufacturer and supplier located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is well-known for its dedication to quality, precision, and reliability. Among its top-notch offerings, the Stainless Steel 316L Square Bars and Rods stand out for their exceptional corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. Crafted with cutting-edge technology and rigorous quality control, these bars and rods are perfect for tough industrial, marine, and structural applications. Desta Steel guarantees outstanding dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and mechanical performance, making its 316L stainless steel products a go-to choice for customers in search of long-lasting, high-quality materials.
Stainless Steel 316L Square Bars and Rods are a type of low-carbon austenitic stainless steel made up of iron, along with 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum. Thanks to its lower carbon content, this material boasts excellent weldability and reduces the risk of carbide precipitation, which in turn ensures remarkable corrosion resistance, especially in environments that are chloride-rich or acidic. It has a tensile strength of about 485 MPa and a yield strength close to 170 MPa, all while offering impressive ductility, toughness, and formability. Plus, it stands out for its superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, maintaining its stability and performance even in extreme temperatures, whether high or cryogenic.
