317/317L Stainless Steel - Complete Material Specifications & Properties
Stainless Steel 317 and 317L are high-alloy austenitic stainless steels engineered for harsh and acidic environments. They offer enhanced resistance to chloride pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, thanks to higher molybdenum and nickel levels. The primary difference is the carbon content—317L has a lower carbon level, which improves weldability and minimizes the risk of carbide precipitation in welded structures.
