410 416 Stainless Steel Round Bar

416 stainless is used for applications requiring good mechanical properties and involving corrosive conditions that are not too severe, such as valves and valve parts, machine parts, screws, bolts, pump rods, pistons, food industry machine parts, cutlery, etc. It can be turned, threaded, formed or drilled at speeds approaching those of screw stock. In the annealed condition, it can be drawn or formed. 416 is used for parts such as compressor shrouds, where oxidation resistance is required up to 1000° F. Useful at high temperatures only when stresses are low. Maximum corrosion resistance of 416 is obtained by hardening and polishing.
