George Metals, a top-notch manufacturer and supplier located in Houston, USA, specializes in high-quality Stainless Steel 317 Rectangular Bars that are built to withstand tough industrial conditions. This type of stainless steel is a high-alloy austenitic variety known for its remarkable resistance to chemical attacks, especially in acidic and chloride-heavy environments. Adhering to ASTM A276 and other relevant standards, these rectangular bars boast excellent formability, weldability, and strength. George Metals also offers custom-cut 317 bars with precise tolerances and smooth finishes, catering to industries like chemical processing, food and beverage, pulp and paper, pharmaceuticals, and marine engineering with reliable stainless solutions.
Stainless Steel 317 Rectangular Bars consist of 18–20% Chromium, 11–15% Nickel, 3–4% Molybdenum, and a maximum carbon content of 0.08%. This unique blend enhances their resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and acidic attacks. The material provides a tensile strength ranging from 515–750 MPa, along with good elongation and hardness characteristics. Thanks to its austenitic structure, it offers excellent formability and weldability without sacrificing strength. George Metals ensures precise dimensional tolerances, consistent surface finishes, and mechanical reliability across all deliveries of 317 rectangular bars, making them perfect for demanding applications.
