Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between 304 and 304L stainless steel rod?
304L has a lower carbon content (max 0.03%) compared to 304 (max 0.08%). This reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, making 304L better for applications requiring post-weld heat treatment or exposure to corrosive environments.
2. Can you supply rods with diameters outside the 1/4 to 2 inch range?
Yes, we can produce custom diameters outside this range upon request. Please contact our sales team with your specific requirements for a quotation.
3. What is the typical lead time for an order?
Lead time depends on the quantity and specifications. For standard sizes, it is usually 7-15 working days. Custom orders may take 15-25 working days. We offer expedited shipping for urgent needs.
4. Do you provide material test certificates?
Yes, we can provide a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) as per EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2, along with our ISO 9001 documentation. Please specify your requirement when placing the order.
5. How do you ensure the precision of the ground tolerances?
Our grinding process is computer-controlled, and each rod is inspected using high-precision micrometers and surface roughness testers. Dimensional checks are performed at multiple points along the length to guarantee consistency.
6. Can the rods be supplied in a polished or coated finish?
Yes, we offer additional surface finishes such as mirror polish, brushed finish, or passivation. These are available as optional services. Please inquire for details and pricing.
7. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for 304L stainless steel rods?
For standard diameters and lengths, the MOQ is typically 100 kg. For custom sizes, the MOQ may be higher. We are flexible and can discuss smaller quantities for trial orders.
8. Do you export to my country?
We export to all major markets worldwide, including North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Our logistics team can arrange door-to-door delivery with reliable freight forwarders.
