| Hardness (max) | 217 HB |
Applications and Industries Using SUS317 Stainless Steel
SUS317 is widely used in various industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance:
- Chemical and petrochemical processing
- Pulp and paper industry
- Marine applications
- Food and beverage processing
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Oil and gas sourcing
Manufacturing Process of SUS317 Stainless Steel
The manufacturing process of SUS317 typically involves:
- Melting raw materials in an electric arc furnace
- Refining the molten metal using AOD or VOD processes
- Continuous casting into slabs
- Hot rolling to reduce thickness
- Cold rolling to achieve final dimensions
- Heat treatment: 2100-2300°F for hot working, avoiding temperatures below 1700°F
Comparison of SUS317 with Other Stainless Steel Grades
| Grade | Molybdenum Content | Corrosion Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| SUS317 | 3.00-4.00% | Excellent |
| SUS316 | 2.00-3.00% | Very Good |
| SUS304 | – | Good |
SUS317 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to SUS316 and SUS304 due to its higher molybdenum content.
Corrosion Resistance and Heat Treatment of SUS317
SUS317 exhibits excellent corrosion resistance:
- Highly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion
- Suitable for use in marine environments
- Resistant to many chemicals and acids
Heat treatment:
- Does not respond to hardening heat treatments
- Solution annealing: 1050-1150°C, followed by rapid cooling
