Louis Metals is a reputable Houston-based stainless steel manufacturer and supplier of high-performance Stainless Steel 317 Flat Bars to be utilized in highly corrosive and demanding industrial environments. Carefully manufactured with precision and strict follow-through on international standards, the flat bars are designed to exhibit high strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Louis Metals provides both standard and specialized sizes to markets like chemical processing, marine, pulp and paper, and pharmaceuticals. The company offers focus on quality, dependability, and customer service to ensure each Stainless Steel 317 Flat Bar is up to the distinct specifications of each use.
Stainless Steel 317 Flat Bar is a molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel containing about 18–20% chromium, 11–15% nickel, and 3–4% molybdenum by chemical composition. This alloy exhibits high resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and chemical attack in both acidic and chloride-rich environments. Mechanical properties are tensile strength of approximately 515 MPa, yield strength of 205 MPa, and elongation of approximately 35%. Stainless Steel 317 does not possess magnetic properties when annealed in condition and has good weldability and formability. Flat profile guarantees balanced loading, and hence it is preferably utilized in fabrication, structural support, and machining precision jobs.
