George Metals, a top-notch manufacturer and supplier located in Houston, USA, specializes in high-performance Stainless Steel 316H Bars and Rods, designed specifically for high-pressure and elevated temperature settings. This high-carbon variant of 316 offers improved strength and creep resistance, particularly in temperatures exceeding 500°C. Our bars and rods are crafted in accordance with ASTM A276 and A479 standards, ensuring a superb surface finish, precise dimensions, and consistent mechanical properties. George Metals proudly supplies 316H products to industries like petrochemical, power generation, offshore, and pressure vessels, guaranteeing dependable performance in challenging conditions and critical structural applications.
Stainless Steel 316H Bars and Rods are composed of 16–18% Chromium, 10–14% Nickel, 2–3% Molybdenum, and a higher carbon content (0.04–0.10%) compared to standard 316, which enhances strength at elevated temperatures. This austenitic stainless steel boasts impressive tensile strength (515–690 MPa), superior creep resistance, and solid corrosion resistance in both chloride and acidic environments. At George Metals, we ensure meticulous heat treatment and forging processes, resulting in bars and rods with outstanding mechanical integrity, weldability, and surface finish—making them perfect for high-stress, high-temperature applications.

Stainless Steel 316H Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries that demand high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures. Power plants and refineries utilize them for superheater tubes, heat exchangers, and pressure vessels. The petrochemical and chemical sectors rely on 316H for reactors, boilers, and process piping due to its exceptional resistance to oxidation and creep. In offshore and marine environments, it’s used in load-bearing components that face harsh saltwater and corrosive conditions. George Metals provides precision-cut 316H bars and rods tailored to meet the specific needs of these demanding applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
