| Property | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Name | Stainless Steel Angle Bar Profile | Equal and unequal leg stainless steel angle sections for structural and industrial use |
| Material Grade | 304 / 304L / 316 / 316L / 321 / 310S / 430 | 304 ≈ 1.4301 (EN) ≈ SUS304 (JIS); 316L ≈ 1.4404 (EN) ≈ SUS316L (JIS) |
| Standard Compliance | ASTM A276 / A484; EN 10088-3; JIS G4303; GB/T 1220 | Covers chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances and surface requirements |
| Chemical Composition (304) | C ≤0.08%, Mn ≤2.0%, Si ≤1.0%, P ≤0.045%, S ≤0.030%, Cr 18.0–20.0%, Ni 8.0–10.5% | 316L adds Mo 2.0–3.0%, C ≤0.03% for enhanced corrosion resistance |
| Tensile Strength | ≥515 MPa (304/316, per ASTM A276) | 310S ≥515 MPa; 430 ≥450 MPa; actual values vary by grade and heat treatment |
| Yield Strength | ≥205 MPa (304/316, 0.2% proof stress) | 316L ≥170 MPa; 430 ≥205 MPa; higher values available in cold-worked condition |
| Elongation | ≥40% (304/316, gauge length 50 mm) | Indicates excellent ductility and formability for fabrication and welding |
| Hardness | ≤201 HBW (304/316, annealed) | Rockwell B ≤92; Vickers ≤210 HV; per ASTM A276 requirements |
| Leg Size Range | Equal leg: 20×20 mm – 200×200 mm; Unequal leg: 30×20 mm – 200×100 mm | Custom sizes available upon request; leg width tolerance per EN 10056-2 / ASTM A484 |
| Thickness Range | 3 mm – 20 mm | Thickness tolerance: ±0.3 mm (standard); tighter tolerances available on request |
| Length | Standard: 6 m / 12 m; Custom: up to 15 m | Random mill lengths or cut-to-length per customer specification |
| Surface Finish | No.1 (hot-rolled, annealed, pickled); No.2B; BA; Brushed (No.4); Mirror (No.8) | No.1 most common for structural use; No.4 / No.8 for decorative applications |
| Application | Construction frames, marine structures, food processing equipment, chemical plants, handrails, brackets | 316/316L preferred for marine and chemical environments; 304 for general structural use |
| Certification | Mill Test Certificate (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2; ISO 9001:2015; PED 2014/68/EU | Third-party inspection (SGS, BV, TÜV) available upon request |
| Packaging | Bundled with steel strapping; wooden pallet or steel pallet; waterproof paper / PVC film wrapping | Export seaworthy packaging standard; fumigation certificate available for wooden pallets |
| MOQ | 1 Metric Ton (MT) | Mixed grades and sizes accepted per order; spot stock available for standard grades |
Ordered 2 tonnes of 304 equal angle bar, 50×50×6 mm, hot-rolled 2E finish, to AS/NZS equivalent of ASTM A276, for a rail infrastructure support frame in Queensland. On first inspection, approximately 8% of bars showed minor scale patches inconsistent with a standard 2E finish. I raised this immediately with the supplier. They arranged a replacement shipment of the affected pieces within 9 days at no additional freight cost and provided a revised MTC. The replacement material was fully compliant. Communication throughout was professional. Issue was isolated and resolution was prompt, so I would consider ordering again.
