Stainless Steel 317 Forged Fittings

317 stainless steel forged fittings are composed of a unique alloy that contains chromium, nickel and molybdenum. This combination allows the material to offer increased resistance to corrosion compared to 304-grade stainless steels while also providing higher in-service temperatures and yield strength in applications requiring elevated temperature service. The percentage content of these metals varies depending on the application or designed usage, but all three elements are necessary to maintain the alloy’s properties.

317 SS forged fittings are some of the industry's most reliable components. Their superior corrosion resistance makes them ideal for applications in which strength and durability are needed, such as exposure to salt solutions, caustic alkalis and chlorides. They also possess greater tensile strength and toughness than regular 304 or 316 stainless steels, making them an excellent choice for use in extreme environments such as high-pressure and high-temperature systems. Furthermore, 317 stainless steel forged fittings have superior ductility compared to wrought austenitic varieties, allowing them to be easily shaped into desired sizes. Such durable, versatile products make 317 stainless steel forged fittings a staple component in many industrial operations.
