Hemi Metals, located in Hamilton, New Zealand, is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Stainless Steel 416 Bars and Rods, perfect for precision machining and demanding industrial applications. SS 416 is a free-machining martensitic stainless steel designed to provide outstanding machinability, solid mechanical strength, and decent corrosion resistance. With a focus on strict dimensional accuracy, controlled metallurgical quality, and a smooth surface finish, these bars and rods guarantee high productivity and consistent performance. Hemi Metals caters to various industries, including automotive, industrial machinery, oil & gas, and precision engineering, where accuracy, speed, and durability are crucial.
Stainless Steel 416 is composed of about 12–14% chromium, with a carefully controlled carbon content and added sulfur to boost machinability. While the sulfur enhances cutting performance, it does slightly compromise corrosion resistance compared to SS 410. Typically, SS 416 bars and rods achieve tensile strength between 500–700 MPa after heat treatment, showcasing good hardness and moderate ductility. This material is magnetic, responds well to hardening and tempering, and maintains excellent dimensional stability during machining, ensuring reliable mechanical performance.
