Alloy 317L is a low-carbon, high molybdenum austenitic stainless steel with a higher nickel alloy content than 316L. Developed to resist the attack of sulfuric acid compounds, this alloy combines good corrosion resistance with excellent mechanical properties and ease of fabrication. These alloys are frequently used for flue gas desulfurization services in fossil-fuel power plants. Compared to other austenitic stainless steels, 317L offers a higher creep strength, stress to rupture, and tensile strength at elevated temperatures.
317 Stainless Steel is an austenitic stainless steel which contains molybdenum. This grade has improved corrosion resistance over 304/304L and 316/316L. 317/317L By controlling the addition of nitrogen, 317L commonly meets the properties of the straight grade 317 except for it’s lower carbon content.
Type 304 Stainless Steel Plate is the most versatile and widely used stainless steel. It is still known by its old name 18/8, which is derived from the nominal composition of type 304, which is 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Type 304 stainless steel is an austenitic grade that can be deep drawn to extreme depths.
316L stainless steel is more resistant to corrosion than 316 stainless steel. There may be no difference in everyday applications. However, because of its weldability, 316L is regarded as the superior corrosion resistance option. 316Ti is essentially 316 with some titanium (Ti) added to reduce the risk of corrosion resistance loss in the heat-affected zone. To avoid this, the carbon(C) level can be reduced, resulting in the grade 316L.
Type 304L Stainless Steel Sheet/Plate is the most versatile and widely used stainless steel. It is still known by its old name 18/8, which is derived from the nominal composition of type 304, which is 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Type 304 stainless steel is an austenitic grade that can be deep drawn to extreme depths.
Type 201 Stainless Steel Sheet/Plate is an austenitic chromium-nickel-manganese stainless steel developed in the 1950s as a result of global nickel shortages. Manganese and nitrogen are partially substituted for nickel in the Type 201 composition. Our 201 stainless steel has excellent impact resistance. It is also extremely tough in cold weather. This grade has about 30% higher yield strength than 301 stainless steel (another popular choice), while maintaining the same ductility.
