Stainless Steel 317 Electrodes

317 SS electrodes are a particular type of electrode composed mainly of chromium, nickel and molybdenum. This offers more resistance to corrosion and oxidation than 316-grade electrodes, making it ideal for use in a variety of industrial contexts where its remarkable durability can be utilized. The alloy also contains small amounts of silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and nitrogen, beneficial in further improving its impressive qualities, including mechanical strength and formability. 317 stainless steel electrodes could be the perfect material for your application needs, given their unique combination of capable features.

317 stainless steel electrodes have been widely utilized in numerous industries to provide a highly corrosion-resistant, long-lasting weld. These electrodes are composed of austenitic stainless steels that feature added molybdenum and are designed to prevent oxidation and corrosion due to high temperatures. Further, these electrodes can be used for welding with zero per cent carbon under various conditions. They also produce an easily machinable weld with good ductility, making them ideal for multiple applications in industries such as food processing and production, chemical processing and storage, offshore and onshore marine environments, nuclear power plants, compositional engine exhausts, and cryogenic applications. As a result, 317 stainless steel electrodes offer the perfect blend of cost-effectiveness and functionality for any welding job.
