Bosega Pipes and Tubes, located in Cape Town, South Africa, has established itself as a reliable manufacturer and supplier of Stainless Steel 317 and 317L EFW (Electric Fusion Welded) Pipes. These pipes are designed to offer outstanding corrosion resistance and strength, particularly in harsh chemical and marine settings. Utilizing the electric fusion welding process, Bosega ensures that each pipe boasts excellent weld integrity, uniformity, and durability. Their 317 and 317L EFW pipes are crafted to meet rigorous international standards, making them a go-to choice for industries like chemical processing, pulp and paper, power generation, and marine engineering, where dependable performance and longevity are crucial.
Stainless Steel 317 is a high-alloy, molybdenum-rich austenitic stainless steel that provides superior resistance to chemical attacks, especially in acidic and chloride-laden environments. On the other hand, 317L is the low-carbon variant of 317, which enhances weldability and reduces the risk of intergranular corrosion after welding or exposure to high temperatures. Both grades feature elevated levels of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum compared to 316, which significantly boosts their resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The EFW manufacturing technique allows for the production of large-diameter pipes with consistent mechanical properties and impressive strength, making them ideal for high-pressure and corrosive applications.
