Stainless Steel Long Products
- Size range
- 1/8" – 12"
- Grades
- 303, 304/304L, 316L
- Form
- Bar, tube & angle
Stainless bar, tube and angle — the same corrosion resistance as flat-rolled stainless, in structural and fabrication shapes.
About the material
Stainless long products carry the same chromium-bearing composition as stainless sheet: the chromium forms a passive oxide film that reforms whenever the surface is cut or scratched, which is what makes stainless self-protecting rather than coated.
Bar, tube and angle are the shapes fabrication actually needs — handrails, frames, supports and fittings that sheet cannot make.
Long products are supplied in mill finishes, with polished options where the surface is visible or has to be cleaned down. Finish designations for flat-rolled material do not transfer directly to bar and tube.
Stock covers bar, tube, pipe and angle in 304L, 316L and 303, from 1/8″ up to 12″. Size ranges by form are set out below; exact sizes, wall thicknesses and stock lengths vary by branch.
Grades, finishes, and availability may vary by branch. Please contact your local branch for current product availability.
