Do you offer bars beyond Ø 500 mm?

On request — Ø 500 mm is this page's standard limit, not a published cap on what SPS can source beyond it.

What's the difference between as-rolled and drawn?

As-rolled keeps a wide dimensional tolerance and an uncalibrated surface finish; cold drawing tightens tolerance and improves surface finish, at a higher cost.

Where can I find lengths and tolerances?

Per the partner stock standard — typically 3 or 6 metres — or cut to length on request. Send the required length and tolerance in the quote request.

Do you source grades not listed above?

Yes, the list is a selection of examples, not a closed catalogue — describe the grade you need in a quote request.

ROUNDS AND BARS

Stainless rounds and bars

Solid rounds, squares, flats and hexagons in stainless and special alloys, from everyday diameters to the rarest grade. This is where SPS's sourcing edge is sharpest: finding in bar form what others don't look for.

What is a stainless round or bar?

A stainless round or bar is a solid profile — round, square, flat or hexagonal — used for machining, special fasteners or mechanical parts, unlike a tube which is hollow. The delivery condition (as-rolled, drawn, ground) determines the dimensional tolerance and surface finish available without further machining.

How to choose it?

Shape choice follows the end use: round for most turned parts, square or flat for welded fabrication, hexagon for fasteners. Delivery condition is chosen based on the next operation — a ground round avoids a machining pass when the final tolerance is tight.

Available grades

This is the page for rare grades in bar: beyond everyday 304/316, SPS sources 316Ti, 321, 904L, nickel alloys (600, 800) and duplex/super duplex — the SPS edge is sharpest on what's hard to find elsewhere in bar form.

Partner stock or mill?

Rounds and bars follow the same partner stock / mill logic as the rest of the catalogue, with rare grades more often pointing toward a planned mill purchase.

From partner stock: 48 hours for urgent needs, 5 working days as standard.

We go through the mill when volume and lead time make sense — typically container-load quantities, sometimes less, with a lead time of a few months including transport. That arbitration is ours to make: when buying at source works out cheaper for you, we say so.
