What is 317L stainless steel?

What is 317L stainless steel?

Alloy 317L (UNS S31703) is a lowcarbon corrosion resistant austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum stainless steel. The high levels of these elements assure the alloy has superior chloride pitting and general corrosion resistance to the conventional 304/304L and 316/316L grades.

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 SS quality?

SS ISO 9000 Standards means Singapore Standards (SS) ISO 9001 which conform to International Standards specifying Quality System requirements to be used for external quality assurance purposes.

What is the most common stainless steel?

304 stainless steel
304 stainless steel is the most common form of stainless steel used around the world, due to its excellent corrosion resistance and value. It contains between 16 and 24 percent chromium and up to 35 percent nickel, as well as small amounts of carbon and manganese.

What is SS316 material?

Stainless steel 316 (SS316) is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing deliberate amount of molybdenum which increases general corrosion resistance and especially improves its pitting resistance to chloride ion solutions.

What is SS 316 material?

Is stainless steel costly?

Costs of Stainless Steels – Price. Carbon steel is about $500/ton, while stainless steel costs about $2000/ton. The more alloying elements the steel contains, the more expensive it is. The resistance of these metallic alloys to the chemical effects of corrosive agents is based on passivation.

Is stainless steel an alloy?

Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant alloy of iron, chromium and, in some cases, nickel and other metals.

What is 317l stainless steel?

317L is a molybdenum bearing austenitic chromium nickel steel similar to type 316, except the alloy content in 317L is somewhat higher. Stainless 317 L has a high tensile and creep strength at elevated temperatures. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance it has been used in handling many of the chemicals used by the chemical process industries.

What is sus317l made of?

317L (00Cr19Ni13Mo3, SUS317L) alloy is based on molybdenum and austenitic stainless steel. It is more resistant to chemical corrosion than normal chrome-nickel austenitic stainless steel, such as 304 alloys.

Why 317l stainless steel is used in halide service?

Because of its low carbon content, 317L is the preferred material in this service to guard against intergranular corrosion. In general, austenitic stainless steels are subject to chloride stress corrosion cracking in halide service.

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.
