Applications. Alloy 317L is commonly used to handle sulfur, pulp liquor, acid dyestuffs, acetylating and nitrating mixtures, bleaching solutions, severe coal and oil, and many chemical compounds.

What is grade 317?

Grade 304, 316, and 317 stainless steel are all considered austenitic stainless steel alloys. These alloys all share some similar properties, such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and high concentrations of chromium and nickel. Grade 317 SS is generally more expensive than grade 316 SS.

What is the difference between 316L and 317L stainless steel?

317L has excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of chemicals, especially in acidic chloride environments such as those encountered in pulp and paper mills. Increased levels of chromium, nickel and molybdenum compared to 316L stainless steel improve resistance to chloride pitting and general corrosion.

What is difference between SS316 and ss316l?

The key difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel is the carbon content. While 316 has a maximum carbon content of 0.08%, 316L has a maximum carbon content of only 0.03%.

What is the difference between 304 and 306 stainless steel?

The simple answer is 304 contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel while 316 contains 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum. The molybdenum is added to help resist corrosion to chlorides (like sea water and de-icing salts).

What is the composition of 317 stainless steel?

317 stainless steel, also known as UNS S31700 and Grade 317, is primarily comprised of 18% to 20% chromium and 11% to 15% nickel along with trace amounts of carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and balanced with iron.

Does pennpenn offer 317l stainless steel products?

Penn Stainless inventory now includes stainless steel 317L (UNS S31703) in stainless plate, round bar, processed flat bar and tubular products.

What is the difference between UNS s31700 and grade 317?

UNS S31700/S31703 (Dual Certified) 317 stainless steel, also known as UNS S31700 and Grade 317, is primarily comprised of 18% to 20% chromium and 11% to 15% nickel along with trace amounts of carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon and balanced with iron.

What is 317l alloy used for?

Alloy 317L is commonly used to handle sulfur, pulp liquor, acid dyestuffs, acetylating and nitrating mixtures, bleaching solutions, severe coal and oil, and many chemical compounds. Some other applications that use alloy 317L include: DIN: 2.4660
