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.EASTERN STAINLESS Type 317LM is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing low carbon (0.03% max.) and relatively high molybdenum (4.00 to 4.5%). It was developed primarily to provide more resistance to attack by sulfurous acid than is provided by competitive conventional stainless steels. Its good corrosion resistance has extended its use to many other industrial applications.
