Phehlukwayo Metal, a prominent stainless steel manufacturer and supplier located in Cape Town, South Africa, proudly offers high-quality Stainless Steel 317 Round Bars and Rods designed for tough industrial settings where corrosion is a major concern. This premium austenitic grade is celebrated for its outstanding resistance to corrosion, particularly against chlorides and other harsh chemicals. At Phehlukwayo Metal, every rod and bar is crafted with meticulous attention to quality, ensuring they deliver exceptional performance and reliability. With a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and technical excellence, the company provides 317 round bars to industries that need advanced material solutions for challenging environments.
The composition of Stainless Steel 317 Round Bars and Rods includes significant amounts of chromium (18–20%), nickel (11–15%), and molybdenum (3–4%), which boosts their resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The inclusion of molybdenum distinguishes this grade from 316, providing superior performance in acidic and chloride-rich conditions. Typically, these bars exhibit a tensile strength ranging from 515 to 750 MPa, a yield strength of about 205 MPa, and an elongation of roughly 35%. They are known for their excellent weldability, good formability, and resistance to sensitization. The austenitic structure also ensures good toughness, even in cryogenic temperatures.
