What is Stainless Steel 317/317L Scrap?
Stainless Steel 317/317L scrap material comes from alloy 317 and its low carbon variant 317L, known for their excellent formability, machinability and fabrication processes. Their composition contains elements like molybdenum and nickel which contribute to their superior workability compared to other stainless steel grades.
Stainless Steel 317/317L scrap stands out for its excellent corrosion resistance against various environments. Due to its high concentrations of chromium and molybdenum, its resistance against pitting, crevice corrosion and general corrosion makes SS 317/317L scrap an excellent material in harsh conditions for applications where exposure to corrosion-causing agents are prominent, providing long term reliability even under adverse circumstances.
Weldability of Stainless Steel 317/317L scrap is another notable characteristic. This material offers exceptional weldability, allowing easy joining and fabrication without compromise to its structural integrity. Furthermore, its low carbon content further improves this trait, decreasing risks such as carbide precipitation that leads to sensitized welds prone to corrosion issues in welded areas.
Stainless Steel 317/317L scrap has wide-reaching applications across industries due to its diverse properties. From chemical processing plants and pharmaceutical factories, to environments in which corrosion resistance, strength, and reliability are paramount; as well as being suitable for components in machinery, equipment, or structural frameworks. It has excellent machinability and weldability which further make this material applicable across different fields of industry.
Stainless Steel 317/317L scrap has many diverse applications in various industries such as petrochemical, oil and gas, pulp and paper and marine applications. Petrochemical refineries employ it for equipment exposed to highly acidic fluids while automotive exhaust systems requiring resistance against high temperatures and gases require its usage as do aerospace applications which take advantage of its superior strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, all while still remaining structurally sound for use under demanding environmental conditions.
