What Is Stainless Steel 317L?
Sanghvi Overseas is one of India’s leading manufacturers of high quality Stainless Steel 317L Sheets, Plates and Coils which find application across diverse sectors. SS 317L Plates is a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel with greatly increased resistance to chemical attack as compared to the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as SS 304 Plates. In addition, these SS 317L Welded Sheets offers higher creep, stress-to-rupture, and tensile strength at elevated temperatures than conventional stainless steels. Also referred as UNS S31703, these sheets and plates is a low carbon or "L" grade material which provides resistance to sensitization during welding and other thermal processes. Our SS 317L Seamless Sheets can be offered in made to order length sizes and shapes, and is also available at market leading prices. We offer qualitative these SS 317L Coils in different sizes and shapes that are being designed as per the national and international standard quality of raw materials.
What Is SS 317L?
A low carbon version of grade 317 stainless steel is known as grade 317L. Although it has the same high strength and corrosion resistance as 317 steel, the low carbon content allows for stronger welds.
What Does the “L” Mean in 317L Stainless Steel?
The L stands for the steel's low carbon content. Fabricators prefer 317L because it doesn't crack once the welding process is complete.
