ZYTC Alloy Completes Major Export of 316L Stainless Steel Bright Bars to Russia
Manufactured to ASTM A276/A276M-25 | h9 Tolerance | Bright Finish
Tianjin ZYTC Alloy Technology Co., Ltd. (ZYTC Alloy) – a trusted China premium nickel alloy and stainless steel supplier – has successfully completed a significant export order of 316L stainless steel round bars to the Russian market.
The supplied 316L round bars were manufactured strictly in accordance with ASTM A276/A276M-25, covering diameters ranging from 5mm to 80mm. Partial tolerances comply with h9, and all bars were delivered with a bright finish – a surface condition that offers improved dimensional accuracy and aesthetic quality for precision applications.
This successful shipment to Russia demonstrates ZYTC Alloy's robust production and quality control systems, which follow rigorous standardization, process-driven workflows, and specialized inspection procedures. Every batch of 316L products is tested and verified before release, ensuring full conformity to customer specifications.
What is 316L Stainless Steel?
316L is a low-carbon version of 316 austenitic stainless steel, widely used in applications requiring excellent corrosion resistance and good formability. The lower carbon content enhances resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding or stress relieving – a critical advantage for components exposed to elevated temperatures or aggressive media.
The addition of molybdenum (Mo) to 316L provides superior resistance to:
-
Pitting corrosion
-
Crevice corrosion
-
Chloride attack
These properties make 316L an ideal material for use in marine environments, chemical processing, pharmaceutical equipment, food processing, and industrial fluid systems.
Typical Chemical Composition of 316L (wt%)
| Element | Composition (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.030 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 2.00 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.75 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.045 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.030 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 16.0 – 18.0 |
| Nickel (Ni) | 10.0 – 14.0 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 2.00 – 3.00 |
| Iron (Fe) | Balance |
Typical Mechanical Properties of 316L
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥ 485 MPa (70 ksi) |
| Yield Strength (0.2% offset) | ≥ 170 MPa (25 ksi) |
| Elongation (% in 50mm) | ≥ 40% |
| Hardness (Brinell) | ≤ 217 HB |
| Hardness (Rockwell B) | ≤ 95 HRB |
Note: Actual values may vary slightly depending on heat treatment and processing conditions.
Why Bright Finish with h9 Tolerance?
The bright finish on 316L round bars offers several advantages:
-
Smooth, polished surface without scale or oxidation
-
Improved dimensional consistency
-
Reduced need for post-processing (e.g., grinding or polishing)
-
Enhanced aesthetic appearance for exposed components
The h9 tolerance ensures precise diameter control, making these bright bars suitable for applications such as:
-
Precision shafts and spindles
-
Fittings and fasteners
-
Instrumentation components
-
Machined parts requiring close tolerances
