Advantages of Stainless Steel 317 Stud Bolts

These flexible stud bolt fittings offer numerous benefits for various industrial applications.

•  Superior Corrosion Resistance: The higher molybdenum content of 317 stainless steel makes it more resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion by chlorides. This makes it suitable for use in marine conditions, chemical processing and other hostile conditions.
• High Strength: 317 stainless steel has higher tensile and yield strength than 304 and 316 grades, making it possible to manufacture stronger and more reliable stud bolts.
• Excellent Resistance to Acids: It has good resistance to several acids, such as sulphuric and phosphoric acids and hence can be used in chemical processing industries.
• Good Weldability: Stainless Steel 317 can be welded by all the conventional processes, and the material's properties are not affected by welding. This makes it possible to form complicated assemblies and structures.
• Improved Fabricability: The alloy is quite amenable to working, and thus it is possible to create strong stud bolts and other related components with the right dimensions.
• Enhanced Temperature Resistance: It is not as high as some other alloys, but 317 stainless steel has good performance at high temperatures, up to about 870°C (1600°F).

The Stainless Steel 317 Stud Bolts offer several advantages that make them suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
