317L is an molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel, with greatly increased resistance to chemical attack as composed to the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic steel tubes as 304L & 316L. The addition of molybdenum gives alloy 317L tubing improved resistance to chloride and other halides. Due to its low carbon content the 317L tubing can be welded without risk of sanitization due to inter granular corrosion that can result from chromium carbide precipitation in the grain boundaries. 317L is non magnetic in the annealed condition, but may become slightly magnetic as result of welding.
