George Metals, a respectable producer and supplier of high-quality stainless steel 446 bars and rods with headquarters in Houston, Texas, USA, provides high-performance materials for demanding industrial settings. We offer 446 stainless steel products that offer exceptional resistance to high-temperature oxidation and corrosion, and we are well-known for our commitment to quality and accuracy. George Metals guarantees dependable supply and tailored solutions for customers in the power generation, chemical, and heat treatment industries thanks to its cutting-edge facilities and knowledgeable staff. Our 446 stainless steel bars and rods are dependable due to their long lifespan, precise dimensions, and reliable operation under harsh service circumstances.
Ferritic stainless steels, such as stainless steel 446 bars and rods, are mainly made of 23–27% chromium, with very little carbon (≤0.20%) and trace amounts of silicon, manganese, and molybdenum. At temperatures as high as 1100°C, this composition guarantees exceptional resistance to oxidation and scaling. They have an elongation of 20%, a yield strength of 275 MPa, and a tensile strength of about 485 MPa. They have good thermal conductivity and are magnetic because of their ferritic structure. SS 446 is perfect for high-temperature applications because it retains structural stability under thermal cycling.
