JIS G4305 SUS317 Steel Plate | 317 Stainless Steel
What is JIS G4305 SUS317 Steel Plate?
As a professional stainless steel supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present JIS G4305 SUS317 Steel Plate, also known as 317 stainless steel.
JIS G4305 SUS317 is a higher-alloy austenitic stainless steel under the Japanese standard for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheets and strips. With increased molybdenum content (typically 3–4%), SUS317 stainless steel provides significantly better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion than standard SUS316 or SUS316L in chloride-containing and highly corrosive chemical environments. JIS G4305 SUS317 also offers good formability and weldability, making it suitable for demanding chemical processing and marine applications. SHH STEEL supplies high-quality SUS317 as Mill Direct Supply from leading Chinese stainless steel mills.

FAQ
- What is the main advantage of SUS317 over SUS316?JIS G4305 SUS317 contains higher molybdenum (3–4%), which provides significantly better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in severe chloride and chemical environments compared with 316 stainless steel.
- Is SUS317 magnetic?317 stainless steel is non-magnetic in the annealed condition. It may become slightly magnetic after heavy cold working.
- When should I choose SUS317 instead of SUS316L?Choose SUS317 when the environment is more aggressive (higher chlorides, acidic conditions, or higher temperatures) where the additional molybdenum content of 317 stainless steel provides a clear performance advantage.
