In air or chemical corrosion resistant to corrosion medium of a kind of high alloy steel, stainless steel is a beautiful surface and corrosion resistant performance is good, need not after surface treatment, such as color of plating and the surface of the stainless steel inherent performance, used in a variety of steel a, often called stainless steel. It represents the performance of 13 chrome steel, 18-8 chrome nickel steel.
From the perspective of metallography analysis, because the stainless steel containing chromium and make the surface form very thin chromium film, the film is isolated from intrusion in the steel corrosion of oxygen.
To maintain the corrosion resistance inherent in stainless steel, steel must contain more than 12 percent chromium.
317L stainless steel pipe s are ultra-low carbon stainless steel, which is more expensive than normal stainless steel, but more expensive than the 317L stainless steel plate
ASTM A312 / 213 TP317L STAINLESS STEEL PIPE Material description
317L (00Cr19Ni13Mo3, SUS317L) alloy is based on molybdenum and austenitic stainless steel. It is more resistant to chemical corrosion than normal chrome-nickel austenitic stainless steel, such as 304 alloys. In addition, compared with conventional stainless steel, 317L alloys have higher ductility, anti-stress corrosion, compressive strength and high temperature resistance. It is a low carbon grade or L rating, which has the ability to resist sensitization during welding and heat treatment.
