Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material Grade: Premium 304 stainless steel (0Cr18Ni9) – excellent resistance to organic acids, alkalis, and chlorides commonly found in food processing.
- Diameter Range: 1mm to 30mm, available in precise increments to suit various equipment requirements. Tolerance as tight as h9 (e.g., ±0.036mm for 6mm rod).
- Bright Surface: Mirror-polished or bright drawn finish with Ra ≤ 0.4μm, minimizing bacterial adhesion and facilitating easy sanitation.
- Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength ≥ 520 MPa, yield strength ≥ 205 MPa, elongation ≥ 40% – ensuring robust structural integrity under heavy loads.
- Certification: ISO9001:2015 quality management system – our entire production process is audited and controlled.
- Customization: Lengths up to 6 meters or cut-to-size; additional surface treatments (e.g., pickling, passivation) available upon request.

Benefits for Your Food Processing Equipment
- Hygiene Compliance: The bright, non-porous surface prevents food residue buildup and meets FDA/EC food contact regulations (material compliance).
- Extended Service Life: 304 stainless steel resists pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking in wet, acidic environments – reducing replacement costs.
- Versatile Machinability: Excellent for welding, turning, drilling, and bending – ideal for custom parts like shafts, rollers, guides, and fasteners.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to 316L, 304 offers a balance of performance and affordability for non-chloride heavy applications.
- Reliable Supply: With an annual export value of US$50-100 million, we maintain large inventory and fast delivery via Qingdao port.

Q: Is this rod suitable for direct food contact?
A: Yes, 304 stainless steel is widely accepted for food contact surfaces. However, for highly acidic or salty foods, we recommend 316L. Our material complies with FDA and EU regulations. -
Q: What is the typical tolerance on diameter?
A: Standard tolerance is h9 (e.g., ±0.036mm for 6mm dia). Tighter tolerances (h8, h7) are available on request. -
Q: Can you provide cut-to-length rods?
A: Absolutely. We can supply rods from 1m to 6m, or cut to your exact specifications. Minimum order quantity may apply. -
Q: What surface finishes do you offer?
A: Standard is bright drawn/polished (Ra ≤ 0.4μm). We also offer pickled, matte, or mirror finish. Please specify your requirement. -
Q: Do you have stock for small diameter rods (1-5mm)?
A: Yes, we maintain inventory for the full range from 1mm to 30mm. For urgent orders, contact our sales team. -
Q: What is the packaging method for export?
A: Rods are bundled with plastic caps, wrapped in waterproof paper, and packed in wooden crates or steel pallets to prevent damage during transit. -
Q: Can you provide a material test certificate (MTC)?
A: Yes, we issue an MTC for each batch, showing chemical composition and mechanical properties traceable to our ISO9001 system. -
Q: What is the lead time for a typical order?
A: For standard sizes, 7-15 days. Custom orders usually 15-25 days. Express shipping available by air or sea.
