Introduction
ASTM TP317 refers to a specification for 317 stainless steel (UNS S31700), a molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel under standards such as ASTM A240/A240M for plates and sheets. It is designed for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-rich environments. This grade contains higher molybdenum (3–4%) compared to 316 stainless steel, improving its performance in aggressive chemical and marine settings.
Key Features
Superior Corrosion Resistance
Excels in environments with chlorides (e.g., seawater, coastal areas) due to its high molybdenum content, which inhibits pitting and crevice corrosion.
Performs well in sulfuric acid (concentrations <15% and >85%) and organic acids, making it suitable for chemical processing equipment.
Maintains stability at high temperatures (up to 870°C) and resists scaling in oxidizing atmospheres.
Mechanical Properties
~520 MPa (as-annealed), with elongation up to 40%, ensuring ductility for forming and welding.
≤90 HRB (Rockwell B), balancing strength and machinability.
Thermal Stability
~16.3 W/m·K at 100°C, increasing to 21.58 W/m·K at 500°C, suitable for heat exchangers.
Linear expansion coefficient of 16×10⁻⁶/K (0–100°C), minimizing dimensional changes under thermal stress.
Weldability
Compatible with standard welding techniques (e.g., TIG, MIG). Post-weld annealing is recommended to restore corrosion resistance in critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between TP317 and 316 stainless steel?
TP317 contains a higher molybdenum content (3% to 4%) compared to 316 stainless steel (2% to 3%). This higher molybdenum level provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, particularly in aggressive chloride environments and marine settings.
What are the primary applications for ASTM TP317?
Due to its high corrosion resistance, ASTM TP317 is widely utilized in the Chemical & Petrochemical Industries, Marine & Offshore settings, Energy & Power Generation, the Pulp & Paper Industry, and Medical & Pharmaceutical manufacturing.
What are the mechanical properties of ASTM A213 TP317?
ASTM A213 TP317 features a minimum tensile strength of 515 MPa, a minimum 0.2% proof yield strength of 205 MPa, and a minimum elongation of 34%. It has a maximum hardness limit of 90 HRB (Rockwell B) or 192 HBW (Brinell).
Is post-weld heat treatment necessary for TP317?
While TP317 is compatible with standard welding methods such as TIG and MIG, post-weld annealing is recommended for critical applications to restore optimal corrosion resistance in the heat-affected zone.
What equivalent global grades correspond to ASTM TP317?
Equivalent grades to ASTM TP317 include UNS S31700 (USA), X5CrNiMo17-13-3 (Germany / Euronorms), 1.4439 (Euronorms), 0Cr19Ni13Mo3 (China), and 03Ch18N14M3 (International ISO).
