SS 317/317L grade has improved corrosion resistance over SS 304 Bars and SS 316. Meanwhile, it has some great features like having an excellent Corrosion Resistance, Excellent Strength, Improved General and Localized Corrosion to SS 316.

Properties

Stainless Steel 317/317L Bars or Alloy 317L Round Bar are essentially non-magnetic in the annealed condition and can only be hardened by cold working. 317/317L Stainless Steel Bars have restricted cobalt and tantalum content for nuclear applications.
