View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.Avesta Sheffield Type 317L is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless containing low carbon (0.03% max) and an addition of molybdenum (3.00-4.00%). This steel was developed primarily to more effectively resist the attack by strongly corrosive process environments, including those containing chlorides and other halides. Its proven ability to resist corrosion has broadened its use considerably, and it now has many industrial applications.
