Phehlukwayo Metal is dedicated to providing stainless steel products that adhere to international standards, ensuring reliable, long-lasting, and high-performance solutions for a variety of industrial applications.
Stainless Steel 317 Bars/Rods are made from an austenitic stainless steel primarily consisting of iron, chromium (18–20%), nickel (11–15%), molybdenum (3–4%), and a low carbon content (maximum 0.03%). This unique composition offers excellent resistance to chlorides, acids, and corrosive environments while maintaining impressive strength and toughness at high temperatures. The material boasts a tensile strength of around 485–620 MPa, yield strength of 205–275 MPa, and good ductility. Its ferrite-free austenitic structure ensures stability, weldability, and dependable mechanical properties, making it ideal for applications that require long-lasting durability, chemical resistance, and high performance in harsh conditions.
