Best Stainless now stocks Stainless Steel 317 and 317L, enhanced with higher Chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum for improved properties.

  • Superior corrosion resistance over 316/316L stainless steel.
  • Increased molybdenum content aids in pitting and chemical corrosion resistance.
  • The 317L variant's reduced carbon content ensures better weldability and formability.
  • Non-magnetic in the annealed state and not hardenable by heat treatment.
  • Ideal for demanding environmental conditions.
