Key Features of Type 317 Stainless Steel

1. Enhanced Corrosion Resistance:

   • Higher resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and general corrosion compared to Type 316.
   • Suitable for aggressive chemical environments, particularly those with chlorides and halides.

2. High Strength:

   • Retains excellent mechanical properties under moderate temperatures.

3. Good Weldability:

   • Compatible with standard welding techniques for stainless steel.

4. Non-Magnetic:

   • Austenitic structure remains non-magnetic even after welding.

5. Improved Durability:

   • Higher molybdenum content contributes to longer service life in demanding environments.
