317 Stainless Steel Socket Weld Flanges

317 stainless steel socket weld flanges were designed as a higher-strength alternative to the 316 grades. 317 comprised 18% to 20% chromium and 11% to 15% nickel, and little carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, and iron. It has high corrosion-resistant properties. 317 stainless steel socket weld flanges are used in chemical equipment manufacturing, and the machines used in pulping paper.
