DIPTI METAL INDUSTRIES
Dipti Metal Industries (A KMR Group Company) is the globally recognized 03Kh17N14M3 Supplier, 03Kh17N14M3 Exporter, and the foremost 03Kh17N14M3 Stockist of 03Х17Н14М3 Austenitic Stainless Steel Bar, Wire, and Forging Billets in Mumbai, India. 03Kh17N14M3 (Cyrillic: 03Х17Н14М3) is a paramount Russian GOST standard austenitic alloy. Serving as the direct equivalent to the globally ubiquitous AISI 316L, the "03" denotes an ultra-low maximum carbon limit (0.030%). This low carbon content ensures the steel is completely immune to carbide precipitation (weld decay) during heavy fabrication. Coupled with a 2-3% Molybdenum addition, 03Kh17N14M3 provides extraordinary resistance to chloride pitting and crevice corrosion. It is the absolute benchmark material for Eastern Bloc pharmaceutical processing, marine engineering, and highly acidic chemical containment. We are a premier 03Kh17N14M3 Distributor supplying fully certified 03Kh17N14M3 Round Bars, Sanitary Hex Bars, and Machined Forgings to the medical, marine, and chemical sectors worldwide.

The success of 03Х17Н14М3 relies entirely on keeping carbon at trace levels (≤0.030%) while perfectly dispersing the molybdenum. We source our steel exclusively from Certified Tier-1 Mills using advanced Argon Oxygen Decarburization (AOD) processes. This ensures an inclusion-free microstructure that can be polished to high sanitary finishes and welded heavily without losing its anti-corrosion properties.
03Kh17N14M3 (03Х17Н14М3) is formulated to solve two distinct issues in stainless steel metallurgy. First, the 2-3% Molybdenum severely limits the rate of localized pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-heavy environments like saltwater or bleach. Second, unlike standard grades that use titanium or niobium stabilization, this grade simply removes the carbon. By keeping carbon below 0.030%, there isn't enough carbon present to bond with chromium during welding, ensuring the grain boundaries remain fully protected from intergranular corrosion.
| Element | Target (%) | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.030 | Ultra-low limit prevents sensitization and weld decay |
| Chromium (Cr) | 16.00 - 18.00 | Provides foundational oxidation and corrosion resistance |
| Nickel (Ni) | 13.00 - 15.00 | Elevated to stabilize austenite and resist stress corrosion |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 2.00 - 3.00 | Dramatically increases resistance to pitting and chlorides |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 2.00 | Improves hot workability and structural integrity |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.80 | Enhances scaling resistance at elevated temperatures |
| Phosphorus & Sulfur | ≤ 0.035 / ≤ 0.020 | Strictly limited to ensure surgical-grade purity |
| Property | Typical Value Range |
|---|---|
| Ultimate Tensile Strength | ≥ 480 MPa |
| Yield Strength (0.2%) | ≥ 195 MPa |
| Elongation (δ5) | ≥ 40% |
| Hardness (HB) | ≤ 170 HB |
| Pitting Resistance (PREN) | ~ 24.0 - 28.0 |
| Magnetic Properties | Non-Magnetic (Annealed) |
Our 03Kh17N14M3 Bars are supplied in the Solution Annealed condition. Due to the very low carbon content, it may exhibit slightly lower yield strength than its high-carbon counterpart (10Kh17N13M2T), but it provides unmatched ease of welding and surface polishing.
03Kh17N14M3 is universally recognized as the premium European and Eastern Bloc equivalent to the indispensable AISI 316L medical and marine grade.
