Phehlukwayo Metal ensures that their stainless steel products meet international standards, providing reliable, long-lasting, and high-performance solutions for a variety of industrial applications.
Stainless Steel 317 Hex Bar/Rod is an austenitic stainless steel primarily made up 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 corrosive environments, especially against chlorides and acids, while also providing high-temperature strength and toughness. The material has a tensile strength ranging from approximately 485–620 MPa and a yield strength of 205–275 MPa, along with good ductility. Its ferrite-free austenitic structure guarantees stability, excellent weldability, and dependable mechanical properties, making it ideal for long-term applications that require corrosion resistance and structural integrity.

SS 317 hex bars/rods are commonly used in the industrial and construction sectors for their corrosion resistance and high strength. They are utilized in manufacturing chemical processing equipment, marine environments, heat exchangers, pumps, valves, fasteners, and structural components in corrosive conditions, ensuring durability and reliability.
SS 317 hex bars/rods typically range from 6 mm to 100 mm in size, with tolerances as per ASTM A276 or similar standards. Precise dimensions and tight tolerances ensure consistent strength, machinability, and fitment, making them ideal for high-performance applications in chemical, marine, and structural industries.
SS 317's chemical composition, with high levels of chromium (24-26%) and molybdenum (3-4%), enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The molybdenum content improves resistance to chloride-induced corrosion, while the balanced alloying helps prevent stress corrosion cracking, making it ideal for harsh, chloride-rich environments.
Stainless Steel 317 Hex Bars/Rods find extensive use in applications that demand high corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability. They are commonly utilized in chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, pumps, valves, and marine components. This alloy is particularly well-suited for pharmaceutical machinery, petrochemical plants, and industrial piping systems that are exposed to acidic and chloride-rich environments. Additionally, Stainless Steel 317 Hex Bars/Rods are also employed in food processing equipment, structural components, and various industrial applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
