317L Stainless Steel Description
Type 317L Stainless Steel (UNS 31703) is a low carbon austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel that can be used in applications where it is not possible to anneal after welding and where maximum corrosion resistance is required. It provides good oxidation resistance in intermittent service to 1600°F and in continuous service to 1700°F.

Finishes
# 1 –Hot rolled annealed and descaled. It is available in strip, foil and ribbon. It is used for applications where a smooth decorative finish is not required.
# 2D – Dull finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. Used for deep drawn parts and those parts that need to retain lubricants in the forming process.
# 2B –Smooth finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. A light cold rolling pass is added after anneal with polished rolls giving it a brighter finish than 2D.
#BA Bright annealed cold rolled and bright annealed
#CBA Course bright annealed cold rolled matte finish and bright anneal
#2 Cold Rolled
# 2BA – Smooth finish produced by cold rolling and bright annealing. A light pass using highly polished rolls produces a glossy finish. A 2BA finish may be used for lightly formed applications where a glossy finish is desired in the formed part.
Polished - Various grit finish for specific polish finished requirements

Polished - Various grit finish for specific polish finished requirements
Wire Finishes
XC - Extra clean bright annealed or bright annealed and cold rolled
Grease - Ultra bright finish for decorative applications
Soap - Soap is not removed from tempered wire to act as a lubricant.
Cold FormingType 317L Stainless Steel can be readily formed and drawn.
Heat TreatmentType 317L Stainless Steel is non hardenable by heat treatment and can only be hardened by cold working.
