ASTM A479 316 Stainless Steel Hex Bar - 25mm Flats, Chemical Plant Equipment Material
ASTM A479 316 stainless steel hex bar (25mm flats) is a high-performance material designed for demanding chemical processing environments. Manufactured to ASTM A479 specifications, this hex bar combines superior corrosion resistance, elevated temperature stability, and mechanical strength. The 316 grade’s addition of molybdenum (2–3%) enhances resistance to chlorides, acids, and caustic solutions, making it ideal for reactors, piping systems, and valves in chemical plants. With precision-machined 25mm flat surfaces and a uniform grain structure, it ensures reliability in aggressive media, including sulfuric acid, brine, and organic solvents.
