Phehlukwayo Metal, located in Cape Town, South Africa, has built a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of top-notch Stainless Steel 317L Round Bars and Rods. Known for their precision engineering, durability, and exceptional finish, this company consistently delivers products that adhere to global quality standards. With state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and a strong commitment to excellence, Phehlukwayo Metal serves a variety of industries, including chemical processing, marine, oil and gas, and power generation. Their Stainless Steel 317L offerings are celebrated for their outstanding corrosion resistance, strength, and versatility, making them the go-to choice for demanding industrial settings and structural applications.
Stainless Steel 317L Round Bars and Rods are low-carbon, molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels that provide enhanced corrosion resistance compared to 316L. The typical composition features Chromium (18–20%), Nickel (11–15%), Molybdenum (3–4%), Carbon (≤0.03%), along with trace amounts of Manganese, Silicon, and Phosphorus. These alloys boast impressive tensile strength (around 515 MPa), yield strength (205 MPa), and an elongation of 35%. Their remarkable mechanical properties ensure they resist pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress cracking, even in acidic or chloride-rich environments.

Stainless Steel 317L Round Bars and Rods find extensive use in industries that demand superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. They are perfect for chemical and petrochemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, condensers, and marine components that face harsh conditions. The low carbon content of this alloy reduces carbide precipitation during welding, which helps maintain durability and longevity in high-temperature settings. Furthermore, these round bars and rods are utilized in pulp and paper processing, food and beverage production, and pharmaceutical equipment. Their excellent formability, weldability, and toughness make them ideal for both heavy-duty structural and precision engineering applications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
