SS 308 Black Square Bar About
SS 308 is an austenitic stainless steel with slightly higher chromium and nickel than 304. SS 308 is particularly well known as a welding alloy/filler grade, so availability and specifications for bar products should be verified against the applicable standard.
Applications: Welding components, fabrication, high-temperature equipment, industrial machinery and applications requiring good oxidation and corrosion resistance.
Versatile Manufacturing & Custom OptionsThe SS 308 Black Square Bar is available via both hot rolled and cold drawn manufacturing processes, allowing you to select the ideal method for your application. Choose from ready stock or request custom dimensions, widths, and thicknesses to meet your precise project requirements. Sharp, square edges and a standard or tailored finish ensure adherence to your specifications.
Superior Material Properties & PerformanceWith a composition of Nickel, Chromium, and Iron, SS 308 Black Square Bars deliver excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand high temperatures up to 870C.
