Stainless Steel Alloy 317L

Type 317L is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel variant of Type 317 with enhanced corrosion resistance compared to Type 304/304L. Other significant advantages of the Type 317L include:

Superior general and local corrosion resistance than 316/316L stainless steel

Excellent shapeability and weldability

Enhanced resilience to acidic chemical attack

Reduced carbon percentage increases resistance to sensitization during welding.

Non-magnetic

Type 317L, like other stainless steels, has a distinct chemical makeup that includes the following elements:

Fe Balance

Cr 18-20%

Ni 11-15%

Mn 2%

Si 0.75% C 0.03% N 0.1% S 0.03% P 0.045%

As a result of the Type 317L's advantages and chemical composition, it is widely utilized in numerous industries and applications, including:

Paper and pulp equipment

Processing of chemicals and petrochemicals

Food preparation

generation of electricity using fossil fuels and nuclear

Flue gas desulfurization systems
