Stainless Steel Drill Rod 304L offers a great mix of strength and corrosion resistance in most situations outside of marine environments. If your project is in a marine environment, choose 316 stainless. 304, the most popular stainless alloy in the world, maintains its properties in high temperature situations. It is typically used in aerospace, food and beverage industry, pressure containers, architectural designs and trim, cryogenic applications, and chemical processing equipment.

This drill rod is available in standard lengths of 36, 72, and 144 inches, all in stock and ready to ship. However, the product data indicates there is no custom cut warehouse availability, so custom cutting options may be limited.

304L stainless steel offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance in most environments but is not recommended for marine applications. For marine use, 316 stainless steel is the preferred alloy due to its superior corrosion resistance.

This drill rod is widely used in aerospace, food and beverage, pressure containers, architectural trim, cryogenic applications, and chemical processing equipment due to its strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance.

Yes, material test reports (MTR) are available for this product, providing assurance of its chemical and mechanical properties.

The drill rod has a machinability rating of 40 and offers an ultimate tensile strength of 85 ksi with a yield strength of 35 ksi, making it strong yet workable for various machining applications.
