Stainless Steel 317 (SS 317) is defined by specific engineering and enhanced machinability, making it a high-performance stainless steel grade. It is widely used in industrial facilities where easy fabrication is essential, especially for components requiring a lot of machining work. SS 317 allows for effortless doings of cutting, drilling, and turning into the material while maintaining its corrosion resistance and strength characteristics.
With an iron-based alloy chemical composition that includes 18% chromium and 8% nickel, SS 317 belongs to the 300 series of stainless steels. SS 317 is more machinable when phosphorus and sulfur are added, which increases its appeal for high-speed cutting tools and automated machining.
SS 317 shows resistance towards numerous chemicals, water, and corrosion from atmospheric exposures. However, it is more susceptible to corrosion than SS 304, mainly due to the presence of sulphur. The corrosion resistance for SS 317 operates within moderate boundaries and performs well, but not under rigorous environments or harsh saltwater.
SS 317 stainless steel proves crucial to industries which depend on exceptional corrosion resistance for their operations particularly in demanding chemical environments and marine conditions. Here are some key applications:
| Element | Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Iron, Fe | 61 |
| Chromium, Cr | 19 |
| Nickel, Ni | 13 |
| Molybdenum, Mo | 3.5 |
| Manganese, Mn | 2 |
| Silicon, Si | 1 |
| Carbon, C | 0.08 |
| Phosphorous, P | 0.045 |
| Sulfur, S | 0.03 |
SS 317 is an impressive stainless steel that really shines when up against harsh environments. This steel has very high corrosion resistance, so it holds up great even when exposed to nasty stuff like chlorides and sulphuric acid and what makes 317 special is its extra molybdenum - more than other popular stainless steels. This boosts its performance against common corrosion problems like pitting, crevice issues, and cracking under stress. Basically if you need stainless steel that laughs off corrosion, SS 317 is a top choice thanks to its molybdenum-powered resistance. It's really in a class of its own for dealing with chemical attacks. These pervasive features enable its use in the corrosive industries such as marine and pharmaceuticals, food processing and oil and gas as well as chemical processing. And SS 317 is also well-suited for high temperature application along with exchangers and boilers and the pulp and paper industry where both heat and moisture resistance are severe problems.
