317L is a molybdenum bearing, low carbon content "L" grade austenitic stainless steel that provides improved corrosion resistance over 304L and 316L stainless steels. The low carbon provides resistance to sensitization during welding and other thermal processes.
317L is non-magnetic in the annealed condition but may become slightly magnetic as a result of welding.
Available Forms of Stainless Steel 317L at Rooplaxmi Steels:
• Sheet
• Plate
• Bar
• Pipe & Tube (welded & seamless)
• Fittings
• Wire
Characteristics of Stainless Steel 317L:
• Improved general and localized corrosion to 316L stainless
• Good formability
• Good weldability
