317/317L

317/317L Stainless Steel
UNS S31700/S31703

Type 317/317L Stainless Steel is a more corrosive resistant grade of stainless than Type 316/316L due to its higher chromium, nickel and molybdenum contents. The addition of these give 317/317L higher corrosion resistance, tensile strength, and creep rupture strength at elevated temperatures. Type 317/317L is used in the chemical, petrochemical, and paper industries.

It is the policy of CMC Letco Ind to stock and use only dual rated type 317/317L Stainless Steels. This provides our  customers with the advantage of better corrosion resistance found in Type 317L, along with the greater mechanical properties in Type 317.
