Al Summan Metals ranks among the top suppliers of Stainless Steel 416 Hex Bars, recognized for their outstanding machinability, magnetic properties, and low friction qualities that assist in minimizing galling and seizing. The machinability of SS 416 Hex Bars can be improved even further with the addition of sulfur, which creates manganese sulfide inclusions, a typical characteristic found in many free-machining stainless steels. Alloy 416 Hex Bars provide resistance to mildly corrosive environments, steam, fresh water, organic substances, various mild acids, and petroleum products, together with solid strength when hardened and tempered.
Because of their low cost and exceptional machinability, Grade 416 Hex Bars are commonly used in a highly tempered condition, where the additives also act as chip breakers, greatly boosting machining rates by up to 85%. Type 416 Hex Bars is a martensitic, free-machining grade that can undergo heat treatment to reach greater strength and hardness.
SS 416 Hex Baris made up mainly of chromium (12-14%), along with carbon (0.15%) and manganese (1.00%) as important elements. It additionally includes sulfur (0.15%) to improve machinability. SS 416’s mechanical characteristics feature a tensile strength of 85,000-100,000 psi, yield strength of 45,000-60,000 psi, and a hardness of 30-35 HRC when in the hardened condition. It demonstrates good machinability, moderate corrosion resistance, and can be strengthened through heat treatment to boost strength and hardness. The alloy is magnetic and holds up against mild corrosive environments and organic materials.

The SS 416 Hex Baris widely used in applications that call for high machinability and moderate corrosion resistance. Well suited to producing shafts, valves, pumps, gears and fasteners. Owing to its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, it is frequently employed in automotive, aerospace and medical applications. This material’s superb manufacturing technology also renders it appropriate for making intricate components like screws, bolts and fittings. Furthermore, SS 416 is applied in hot water, fresh water and petroleum products.
SS 416 has a greater sulfur content that enhances machinability, though this lowers its corrosion resistance relative to other stainless steel grades such as SS 304 or SS 316. The sulfur disrupts the development of a protective oxide layer, leaving SS 416 more prone to corrosion in harsh environments.
SS 416 hex bars find frequent use across the aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries. Their main applications cover shafts, valves, pump components, and fasteners. Thanks to their outstanding machinability, they work well for making precise parts in high-volume machining settings, particularly where moderate corrosion resistance is needed.
We supply products accompanied by both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, guaranteeing the highest standards of quality and compliance.
