Latham Steel, located in Hamilton, New Zealand, has built a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 316L Hollow Bars. These high-quality materials are celebrated for their exceptional corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. Stainless Steel 316L is a low-carbon, molybdenum-rich austenitic grade, making it perfect for environments that encounter chlorides, chemicals, and moisture. Latham Steel guarantees that each hollow bar adheres to strict international standards, providing precise dimensions, smooth finishes, and long-lasting performance for various industries, including chemical processing, marine engineering, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.
The composition of Stainless Steel 316L Hollow Bars includes about 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, 2–3% molybdenum, and a very low carbon content (maximum 0.03%). This unique blend offers remarkable resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion, particularly in chloride-heavy environments. On the mechanical side, 316L hollow bars boast a tensile strength ranging from 485 to 620 MPa, a yield strength of 170 to 310 MPa, along with excellent ductility and toughness. The hollow design not only reduces weight but also enhances machinability and ensures consistent structural integrity for precision applications.

SS 316L offers superior corrosion resistance compared to other stainless steels, especially in chloride-rich environments. Its low carbon content enhances its resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, making it ideal for harsh, marine, and chemical applications.
SS 316L hollow bars offer excellent weldability due to their low carbon content, reducing the risk of carbide precipitation. This results in stronger, more durable welds. Their corrosion resistance also ensures long-lasting performance in welded constructions exposed to harsh environments.
You’ll find Stainless Steel 316L Hollow Bars commonly used in chemical and petrochemical plants, desalination systems, marine structures, pharmaceutical equipment, food processing machinery, and sanitary piping. They’re perfect for crafting shafts, valves, heat exchanger components, and structural parts that need to withstand corrosive or hygienic conditions. With their outstanding corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and precise dimensions, these 316L hollow bars promise long-term reliability, minimal maintenance, and consistent performance, making them a top choice for demanding industrial applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
