How are stainless steel rods manufactured?

Stainless steel rods are typically manufactured through a process called hot rolling or cold drawing.

During hot rolling, raw steel is heated to a high temperature and then passed through a series of rollers to shape it into the desired form. The resulting rod is then cooled and cut to length.

During cold drawing, raw steel is pulled through a die at room temperature, which stretches and shapes it into the desired form. The resulting rod is generally stronger and more precise in size than a hot-rolled rod, but it also requires more time and energy to produce.

After the initial manufacturing process, the stainless steel rod may undergo further processing such as annealing to remove any stresses or strains in the material and improve its overall strength and durability. It may also be coated or polished to improve its surface finish and corrosion resistance.
