ASTM A276 / A276M Type 316

ASTM A276 Type 316 is a material grade specification for cold-finished or hot-finished bars in 316 stainless steel, available in form of rounds, square, hexagons and other hot rolled extruded shapes. Ferrobend offers 316 bars, shafts, angle, channel, beam profiles, bolts, studs, screws, nuts, threaded rods, pins and other bar stock components to astm a276 type 316 specification.

ASTM A276 specification covers requirements such as chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment and other supplementary requirements for 316 stainless steel round bars, square bars, hexagon bars and other extruded shapes.
