stainless steel 317/ 317L sheet and plates

stainless steel 317/317L

Stainless Steel 317  / 317L Sheets & Plates in both domestic and international markets. Our inventory includes a wide variety of surface finishes, sizes, and customized dimensions. Engineered with top-grade materials and manufactured using state-of-the-art technology, these sheets and plates are known for their corrosion resistance, strength, and dimensional accuracy.

 What is Stainless Steel 317 / 317L?

Stainless Steel 317 is an austenitic chromium-nickel steel alloy containing molybdenum, which provides enhanced resistance to chemical attacks. 317L is the low carbon version of 317, allowing improved weldability and minimizing the risk of carbide precipitation during welding.

These materials are designed for applications demanding superior corrosion resistance in aggressive environments, especially where chlorides and other halides are present.

Key Features of SS 317 / 317L Sheets & Plates

  • Excellent corrosion resistance in acidic and chloride-rich environments
  • High tensile and yield strength
  • Superior formability and weldability
  • Resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion
  • Ideal for high-temperature applications
  • Long service life and robust performance
