SS Round Bars
What is a SS Round Bar?
Stainless Steel Round Bars are solid cylindrical steel rods known for their excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and machinability. These bars are commonly used across various industries for manufacturing components, fasteners, shafts, and structural applications. Their smooth surface finish and dimensional accuracy make them ideal for both industrial and architectural purposes.
Asiad Steel Industries is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of stainless steel round bars in multiple grades and finishes to meet diverse application requirements. We ensure strict quality control and compliance with global standards.

Do you have questions?
Cold-drawn bars offer better dimensional accuracy and surface finish, while hot-rolled bars are more cost-effective for general structural use.
Yes, especially grades like 304 and 316 are weldable. However, proper filler materials should be used.
Yes. We offer custom lengths as per client drawings and specifications.
SS 316 or 316L is ideal due to its enhanced resistance to chloride corrosion.
