Stainless Steel 317 (UNS S31700) is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel with greatly increased resistance to chemical attack as compared to the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel pipe such as SS 304 and SS 316L. In addition. SS 317 offers higher creep, stress-to-rupture, and tensile strength at elevated temperatures than conventional stainless steel tubing. SS 317L is a low carbon version of SS 317 grade which provides resistance to sensitization during welding and other thermal processes.Stainless Steel 317L is non-magnetic in the annealed condition but may become slightly magnetic as a result of welding.
Principle Design Features
317 is a higher chromium, nickel and molybdenum version of 316 stainless designed principally for increased strength and corrosion resistance
Applications
Textile, pulp paper and chemical equipment, for corrosion resistance.
Machinability
Low speeds and constant feeds will minimize this alloy's tendency to work harden. Tougher than 304 stainless with a long stringy chip, the use of chip breakers is recommended.

Welding
All common fusion and resistance methods except oxyacetylene welding have proven successful. Use AWS E/ER317 or 317L filler metal for best results.
Hardening
This alloy does not respond to heat treatment. Cold work will cause an increase in both hardness and strength.
