A 240 GR 304H Round Bar Suppliers: Reliable Sources and Pricing

At Gangsteel, a leading manufacturer and exporter of stainless steel products, we specialize in supplying premium A 240 GR 304H round bar compliant with ASTM A240 and ASME SA 240 standards. A 240 GR 304H round bar, also known as SA 240 GR 304H or AISI 304H, is a high-carbon austenitic stainless steel optimized for high-temperature service up to 1500°F (815°C). This guide highlights reliable suppliers, focusing on Gangsteel as your trusted source, along with pricing and availability for applications like high-temperature piping and boiler components. Contact us at admin@gangsteel.com or explore our ASME SA240 Stainless sheet for more.

 

Overview of A 240 GR 304H Round Bar

A 240 GR 304H round bar is fabricated from chromium and chromium-nickel stainless steel plates specified under A240 for pressure vessels and high-temperature use. With 0.04-0.10% carbon, it enhances creep and rupture strength compared to standard 304 or 304L round bar. Non-magnetic with a density of 8.00 g/cm³, it’s perfect for demanding environments. For bar-specific standards, use ASTM A479 TP 304H; A240 focuses on base material for round bar fabrication. See sa240 gr 304h.

 

Chemical Composition

The composition of A 240 GR 304H round bar ensures high-temperature performance:

Element

Range (%)

Carbon (C)

0.04 - 0.10

Manganese (Mn)

0.00 - 2.00

Silicon (Si)

0.00 - 0.75

Phosphorus (P)

0.00 - 0.045

Sulfur (S)

0.00 - 0.030

Chromium (Cr)

18.00 - 20.00

Nickel (Ni)

8.00 - 10.50

Nitrogen (N)

0.00 - 0.10

Iron (Fe)

Balance

Higher carbon improves creep resistance. See sa240 gr 304l for low-carbon variants.

 

Mechanical Properties

Value (Min)

Tensile Strength

515 MPa (75 ksi)

Yield Strength

205 MPa (30 ksi)

Elongation

40%

Hardness (Brinell)

≤ 201 HB

High strength at high temperatures (25.5 ksi allowable at 1000°F). See sa240 gr 304.

 

Physical Properties

  • Density: 8.00 g/cm³.
  • Melting Point: 1400-1450°C.
  • Thermal Conductivity: 16.2 W/m·K.
  • Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 17.2 × 10⁻⁶/K.
  • Max Service Temperature: 1500°F (815°C) continuous.

 

Corrosion Resistance

A240 GR 304H round bar resists mild acids and atmospheric conditions, outperforming SS204 vs SS 304. Higher carbon risks sensitization in welds; anneal for protection. See sa240 gr 316l for chlorides.

 

Weldability

Fair with ER308H fillers; low heat input (<2.0 kJ/mm) and annealing required. See sa240 gr 321.

 

 

Applications of A240 GR 304H Round Bar

A240 GR 304H round bar is used in:

  • Bolts and fasteners for high-temperature piping.
  • Valve stems and fittings in heat exchangers.
  • Shafts and rods in power generation.
  • Structural bars in boilers.
