Stainless Steel 317L, or SS 317L, is a low-carbon, high-alloy austenitic stainless steel primarily used in environments requiring exceptional resistance to corrosion. With its superior molybdenum (3-4%) content compared to other stainless steel grades, SS 317L offers greater resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion. This grade is commonly used in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries, where the material must endure exposure to corrosive substances, acidic environments, and high-pressure conditions. One of the key features of SS 317L is its low carbon content, which minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation and ensures better weldability and formability. It is commonly used in environments such as acidic solutions, high chloride environments, and applications that require resistant materials for machinery exposed to severe chemicals and high temperatures.
