1-866-725-8609Alloy 317L is a low carbon variation of alloy 317. This austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel can be used in applications where it is not possible to anneal after welding and where maximum corrosion resistance is required.
Alloy 317L is a low carbon variation of alloy 317. This austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel can be used in applications where it is not possible to anneal after welding and where maximum corrosion resistance is required. It provides good oxidation resistance in intermittent service to 1600°F and in continuous service to 1700°F.

Alloy can be cold rolled to achieve the temper properties required by specific customers and/or manufacturing requirements. Contact Ulbrich Wire for details.
See NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) for recommendations.
Extra Clean: (XC) Extra clean is also referred to as “bright annealed” or “bright annealed and cold rolled”
Grease (round wire only): Drawn in a heavy grease produces an “Ultra bright” finish for
decorative applications
Soap (round wire only): Soap is used as a lubricant in the drawing process and is not
removed. It acts as a lubricant during customer part forming operation. A soap finish is
available in tempered products.
Plated: Many plating options are available.
∗Special finishes are available: Contact Ulbrich Wire Sales with special finish and plating requests.
