317L Stainless Steel Overview
317L is a molybdenum bearing, low carbon content "L" grade austenitic stainless steel that provides improved corrosion
resistance over 304L and 316L stainless steels. The low carbon provides resistance to sensitization during welding
and other thermal processes.
317L is non-magnetic in the annealed condition but may become slightly magnetic as a result of welding.
Corrosion Resistance
317L has excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of chemicals, especially in acidic chloride environments such
as those encountered in pulp and paper mills. Increased levels of chromium, nickel and molybdenum compared to
316L stainless steel improve resistance to chloride pitting and general corrosion. Resistance increases with
molybdenum alloy content. 317L is resistant to sulfuric acid concentrations up to 5 percent at temperatures as high as
120F (49C). At temperatures under 100F (38C) this alloy has excellent resistance to solutions of higher
concentration. However, service tests are recommended to account for the affects of specific operating conditions
that may affect corrosion behavior. In processes where condensation of sulfur-bearing gases occurs, 317L is much
more resistant to attack at the point of condensation than conventional alloy 316. The acid concentration has a
marked influence on the rate of attack in such environments and should be carefully determined by service tests.

Welding 317L
317L is readily welded by a full range of conventional welding procedures (except oxyacetylene). AWS
E317L/ER317L filler metal or austenitic, low carbon filler metals with molybdenum content higher than that of 317L, or
a nickel-base filler metal with sufficient chromium and molybdenum content to exceed the corrosion resistance of
317L should be used to weld 317L steel.
