UNS S31700|1.4449|TP317 Seamless Stainless Steel Pipe
Seamless Stainless Steel TP317 Pipes (UNS S31700 / W.Nr. 1.4449) are high-performance austenitic solutions specifically engineered for superior resistance to localized chemical attack and pitting in aggressive environments. As a premier manufacturer based in Wenzhou, China, XinZhe produces high-integrity seamless piping that strictly complies with ASTM A312, ASTM A213, and ASME SA312 international standards.

Distinguished by its increased Molybdenum (3% min) content, our TP317 tubing offers enhanced mechanical properties and superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 316 grades, particularly in acidic chloride environments and sulfur-bearing media. These pipes are indispensable for mission-critical applications in flue gas desulfurization (FGD), chemical reactors, and pulp and paper processing. Through advanced cold-drawing and precise solution annealing, XinZhe ensures every pipe maintains a uniform microstructure and optimized tensile strength for the most demanding industrial environments.
