SS 317L Hex Bars/Rods are commonly used in chemical processing, marine environments, pharmaceuticals, and food processing due to their excellent corrosion resistance and high strength. They are ideal for handling aggressive chemicals, including sulfuric acid, bleaching solutions, and pulp liquor. In construction, they are used for structural components and fittings.
SS 317L Hex Bars/Rods typically range from 6 mm to 100 mm in diameter, with lengths up to 6 meters. Tolerances generally conform to ±0.5 mm for diameter. These dimensions and tolerances ensure precision for machining, making them ideal for applications requiring high strength, corrosion resistance, and tight fit.
The high chromium (18-20%) and molybdenum (3-4%) content in SS 317L enhances its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion by forming a passive oxide layer that protects against chloride-induced degradation. The low carbon content further reduces the risk of stress corrosion cracking, ensuring durability in harsh chloride environments.
Stainless Steel 317L Hex Bars and Rods find extensive use in various industries, including chemical processing, marine engineering, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage production, and paper manufacturing. They are particularly suited for components that come into contact with corrosive chemicals, such as shafts, valves, fittings, and fasteners. Thanks to their superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, they are also utilized in heat exchangers, condensers, and storage tanks. Their durability, strength, and ease of fabrication make them a go-to choice for demanding industrial applications.
