JIS G4305 SUS317L Steel Plate | 317L Stainless Steel
What is JIS G4305 SUS317L Steel Plate?
As a professional stainless steel supplier and China Mill-Direct Exporter, SHH STEEL is pleased to present JIS G4305 SUS317L Steel Plate, also known as 317L stainless steel.
JIS G4305 SUS317L is the low-carbon version of the high-molybdenum austenitic stainless steel under the Japanese standard for cold-rolled stainless steel plates, sheets and strips. With molybdenum content of 3–4% and carbon limited to ≤0.030%, SUS317L stainless steel combines superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion with excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding. This makes JIS G4305 SUS317L the preferred grade for welded equipment operating in highly aggressive chloride and chemical environments. SHH STEEL supplies high-quality SUS317L as Mill Direct Supply from leading Chinese stainless steel mills.
