Applications and Industries Using SUS317L
SUS317L is widely used in various industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance:
- Chemical and petrochemical processing
- Pulp and paper industry
- Food and beverage processing
- Marine applications
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Oil and gas sourcing
- Medical equipment
Manufacturing Process of SUS317L Stainless Steel
The manufacturing process of SUS317L 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
- Solution annealing at 1050-1150°C, followed by rapid cooling
Comparison of SUS317L with Other Stainless Steel Grades
| Grade | Molybdenum Content | Corrosion Resistance | Strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| SUS317L | 3.00-4.00% | Excellent | High |
| SUS316L | 2.00-3.00% | Very Good | Good |
| SUS304L | – | Good | Good |
SUS317L offers superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-containing environments, compared to SUS316L and SUS304L.
Corrosion Resistance and Heat Treatment of SUS317L
SUS317L 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:
- Solution annealing: 1050-1150°C, followed by rapid cooling
- Does not respond to hardening heat treatments
