Product Introduction:

ASTM A955 316 stainless steel rods are engineered for high-performance applications that require exceptional resistance to corrosion, especially in harsh environments. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this alloy contains molybdenum, providing superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, making it an ideal choice for marine, chemical, and food processing industries. The ASTM A955 standard ensures these rods meet stringent quality specifications, delivering reliable performance and longevity in demanding conditions.

Unique Features:

The ASTM A955 316 stainless steel rod is renowned for its outstanding resistance to corrosion, particularly in chloride-rich environments such as seawater or chemicals. The addition of molybdenum (2-3%) makes it more resistant to corrosion than other stainless steel grades like 304. The alloy’s excellent strength, durability, and formability ensure it performs reliably in critical applications, whether in marine environments, chemical processing plants, or food and beverage facilities. Its non-reactive properties make it perfect for applications that require hygiene and long-lasting performance.
