Hemi Metals is a reputable manufacturer and supplier based at Hamilton New Zealand. It provides high-class stainless steel products, and the company offers a wide range of Stainless Steel 446 Rectangular Bars that also exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, good tensile properties at elevated temperatures, and high strength in the soft condition. Hemi Metals provides outstanding quality, reliable delivery and excellent customer service that makes it a reliable partner in the metal supply sector.
Stainless Steel 446 Rectangular Bars are composed primarily of iron, chromium (up to 26%) and small amounts of other elements like nickel and manganese. Known for their high resistance to oxidation and scaling at elevated temperatures, they offer excellent corrosion resistance. The mechanical properties include high tensile strength, good ductility, and hardness. The advantages of 446 stainless steel bars include superior high-temperature resistance, resistance to corrosive environments, excellent weldability, and long-term durability, making them ideal for demanding applications.

When selecting Stainless Steel 446 Rectangular Bars, consider factors like temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and the specific environmental conditions. Additionally, ensure compatibility with the required mechanical properties and fabrication needs.
Stainless Steel 446 Rectangular Bars are not ideal for cryogenic applications due to their reduced toughness at low temperatures. For cryogenic use, materials with better low-temperature properties, like austenitic stainless steels, are recommended.
Stainless Steel 446 Rectangular Bars generally do not require additional corrosion protection coatings due to their inherent high corrosion resistance. However, in highly aggressive environments, coatings may be used for added protection.
Stainless Steel 446 Rectangular Bars are widely used in applications requiring high-temperature resistance and corrosion protection. Furnace components, heat exchangers, industrial kilns, and combustion chambers are some common uses. Automotive exhaust systems, chemical processing equipment, and power generation facilities also employ them because of their excellent resistance to scaling and oxidation. The bars are suitable for harsh environments exposed to extreme heat and corrosive conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance in critical 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.
