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.
These Stainless Steel 317L Hex Bars and Rods are commonly utilized in industries that demand outstanding corrosion resistance and machinability. Typical uses include heat exchangers, chemical tanks, marine hardware, paper mill equipment, and pharmaceutical processing systems. The hexagonal shape not only provides a better grip but also simplifies machining, making it ideal for creating fasteners, shafts, and custom components. The low carbon content of SS 317L minimizes the risk of sensitization during welding, ensuring it remains a dependable choice for applications exposed to chemicals, high humidity, or frequent temperature changes.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
