SelectAlloy 317L-C

Stainless Steel / Metal Cored / Gas Shielded

Resources

Features

  • The addition of molybdenum (Mo) improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared even to type 316 alloy due to the nominal ~1 % increase (Mo).
  • Low carbon (C), < 0.03 wt%, minimizes carbide precipitation (sensitization) which makes the weld metal more resistant to intergranular corrosion.
  • Metal cored benefits include the ability to successfully bridge gaps when part fit up is not as designed, higher travel speeds with subsequent lower heat inputs at equal amperages, and ability to join thin materials.
  • Applications include welding components of similar composition or multilayer cladding applications in severely corrosive environments.
