Aiman Metals, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is a reliable manufacturer and exporter of high-quality Stainless Steel 304L Hex Bars and Rods, which are well known for their outstanding resistance to corrosion under water-based as well as aggressive conditions. These hexagonal bars are enriched with copper and molybdenum, making them highly resistant against reducing agents and acidic environments. Grade 304L Hex Bars provide excellent resistance to localized corrosion, such as pitting and crevice corrosion, while exhibiting protection from oxidizing agents such as nitric acid. Stainless Steel 304L (UNS S30400 / 1.4301) Hex Bars are versatile in design and are used extensively in industrial, marine, and architectural applications where strength, durability, and reliable performance are required.
SS 304L Hex Bars and Rods consist of 18–20% chromium, 8–12% nickel, and up to 0.03% carbon for optimal corrosion resistance. Other elements are manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrogen for mechanical stability. This low-carbon steel offers a minimum tensile strength of 485 MPa, minimum yield strength of 170 MPa, 40% elongation in 2 inches, and hardness of about 95 HBW (Brinell). Good ductility, weldability, and oxidation resistance render 304L suitable for intricate engineering and high-accuracy fabrication. Its strength and localized corrosion resistance facilitate consistent performance across a broad spectrum of harsh environments.

SS 304L hex bars/rods are typically available in sizes ranging from 3.17mm to 350mm in diameter, with lengths of 2 to 7.5 meters. These bars come in various finishes, such as polished or cold-drawn. Custom sizes and specifications can also be produced upon request to meet specific needs.
Yes, SS 304L hex bars/rods are highly weldable and suitable for fabrication into complex shapes. Their low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, reducing the risk of corrosion. This material's excellent ductility and toughness allow easy forming, machining, and fabrication, making it ideal for intricate designs and applications.
SS 304L has lower carbon content than standard 304, reducing carbide precipitation and enhancing corrosion resistance, particularly after welding. While slightly lower in strength compared to higher-carbon grades like 304 or 316, it maintains excellent toughness and durability. SS 316 offers superior corrosion resistance in chloride environments due to added molybdenum.
SS 304L Hex Bars and Rods are commonly utilized in applications requiring high strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Some typical applications are food processing hardware, pharmaceutical machinery, and marine parts subjected to saline environments. They are also used very widely in construction for bolts, nuts, shafts, valves, and fittings and are used in the automotive and aerospace industries. With their smooth finish, high formability, and oxidation and acid resistance, they can be used in kitchen appliances, decorative hardware, and structural components. Resistant to high temperatures and hostile chemicals, 304L Hex Bars provide durable performance in industrial and architectural applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
