Stainless Steel Round 304 - 5/16 Inch
This 5/16" diameter 304 Stainless Steel Round Bar meets ASTM A276 standards, providing a versatile material with 73,200 PSI tensile strength. Its excellent corrosion resistance and weldability make it ideal for fabricating small shafts, fasteners, and architectural components. In stock Los Angeles.
- 304 Stainless Steel Construction
- ASTM A276 Certified
- 73,200 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance & Weldability
Type 304 is the most widely used austenitic stainless steel, containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel for outstanding resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments. This cold drawn bar conforms to ASTM A276, ensuring consistent mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and cannot be hardened by heat treatment, but it offers excellent formability and ductility for various fabrication processes.
As a small-diameter 5/16" round bar, this product is perfectly suited for manufacturing precision components. Common applications include pins, dowels, fastener blanks for custom bolts, small shafts for machinery and robotics, and decorative hardware where both strength and a clean aesthetic are required. Its versatility makes it a staple for machine shops and fabricators.
