Latham Steel, located in Hamilton, New Zealand, has built a solid reputation as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 317L Rectangular Bars. These bars are crafted from top-notch materials designed to offer outstanding corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. Stainless Steel 317L is a low-carbon, molybdenum-enriched austenitic grade, making it perfect for environments that are tough on materials, as it provides excellent protection against pitting, crevice corrosion, and general wear and tear. Latham Steel guarantees that every rectangular bar adheres to strict international standards, ensuring they deliver precise, dependable, and long-lasting performance across various industries, including chemical processing, petrochemical, marine, and pharmaceuticals.
The composition of Stainless Steel 317L Rectangular Bars includes about 18–20% chromium, 11–13% nickel, 3–4% molybdenum, and a maximum of 0.03% carbon. This blend significantly boosts corrosion resistance, especially in environments rich in chlorides and acids, while also maintaining impressive mechanical properties, such as a tensile strength ranging from 515 to 750 MPa and a yield strength between 205 and 450 MPa. The rectangular shape of these bars makes them easy to fabricate, allows for precise machining, and ensures consistent structural integrity, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications where durability and performance are crucial.
