VERSION 1 (2/18/2014): PAGE 1 of 15 Allegheny Technologies Incorporated 1000 Six PPG Place Pittsburgh, PA 15222-5479 U.S.A. www.ATImetals.com Technical Data Sheet ATI 316™, ATI 316L™, ATI 317™, ATI 317L™ ATI 316™, ATI 316L™, ATI 317™, ATI 317L™ Stainless Steel: Austenitic (UNS S31600, S31603, S31700, S31703) INT RODUCT ION ATI 316™ (UNS S31600), ATI 316L™ (S31603), ATI 317™ (S31700) and ATI 317L™ (S31703) alloys are molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels which are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as ATI 304. These alloys also offer higher creep, stress-to-rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperature. ATI 317™ and ATI 317L™ alloys containing 3 to 4% molybdenum are preferred to ATI 316™ or ATI 316L™ alloys which contain 2 to 3% molybdenum in applications requiring enhanced pitting and general corrosion resistance. ATI 316LM™ alloy (W.Nr. 1.4404), a 2.5% minimum Mo version of ATI 316L™ stainless steel, is available only by special order. Austenitic stainless steels with higher molybdenum or molybdenum plus nitrogen content which provide even greater resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion and general corrosion are also available in flat-rolled products. These include ATI 316LN™ (UNS S31653), ATI 317LX™ (UNS S31725, 4-5% Mo), ATI 317LXN™ (S31726, 4-5% Mo and 0.1-0.2% N), and AL-6XN® (N08367, 6-7% Mo and 0.18-0.25% N) alloys. Properties of these alloys are described in separate ATI technical data publications available. In addition to excellent corrosion resistance and strength properties, the ATI 316™, ATI 316L™, ATI 317™ and ATI 317L™ Cr- Ni-Mo alloys also provide excellent fabricability and formability which are typical of the austenitic stainless steels. PRODUCT FORMS ATI 316™, ATI 316L™, ATI 317™ and ATI 317L™ stainless steels are available in the form of sheet, strip and plate to ASTM A240 and ASME SA-240 and other pertinent specifications from ATI.

CORROSION RESISTANCE General Corrosion ATI 316™, ATI 316L™, ATI 317™ and ATI 317L™ alloys are more resistant to atmospheric and other mild types of corrosion than the 18-8 stainless steels. In general, media that do not corrode 18-8 stainless steels will not attack these molybdenum-containing grades. One known exception is highly oxidizing acids such as nitric acid to which the molybdenum-bearing stainless steels are less resistant. ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ alloys are considerably more resistant than any of the other chromium-nickel types to solutions of sulfuric acid. At temperatures as high as 120°F (49°C), ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ alloys are resistant to concentrations of this acid up to 5 percent. At temperatures under 100°F (38°C), both types have excellent resistance to higher concentrations. Service tests are usually desirable as operating conditions and acid contaminants may significantly affect corrosion rate. Where condensation of sulfur-bearing gases occurs, these alloys are much more resistant than other types of stainless steels. In such applications, however, the acid concentration has a marked influence on the rate of attack and should be carefully determined. The molybdenum-bearing ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ stainless steels also provide resistance to a wide variety of other environments. As shown by the laboratory corrosion data below, these alloys offer excellent resistance to boiling 20% phosphoric acid. They are also widely used in handling hot organic and fatty acids. This is a factor in the manufacture and handling of certain food and pharmaceutical products where the molybdenum-containing stainless steels are often required in order to minimize metallic contamination.

The same is true for ATI 317™ and ATI 317L™ alloys. A notable exception is in environments sufficiently corrosive to cause intergranular corrosion of welds and heat-affected zones on susceptible alloys. In such media, the ATI 316L™ and ATI 317L™ alloys are preferred over ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ alloys, respectively, for the welded condition since low carbon levels enhance resistance to intergranular corrosion.

A relative measure of pitting resistance is given by the PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent, including Nitrogen) calculation, where PREN = Cr+3.3Mo+16N. The PREN of ATI 316™ and ATI 316L™ alloy (24.2) is better than that of ATI 304 alloy (PREN=19.0), reflecting the better pitting resistance which ATI 316 (or ATI 316L) alloy offers due to its Mo content. ATI 317™ (and ATI 317L™) alloy, with 3.1% Mo and PREN=29.7, offers even better resistance to pitting than the ATI 316™ alloys. As shown by the following table of data, best resistance to pitting is provided by the AL-6XN® alloy which contains 6.2% Mo and 0.22% N and has a PREN of 44.5. CCCT (Critical Crevice Corrosion Temperature) and CPT (Critical Pitting Temperature) data for the alloys, as measured by ASTM G48 ferric chloride tests, are also shown. The measured CCCT and CPT data correlate well with the calculated PREN numbers. ATI 304 stainless steel is considered to resist pitting and crevice corrosion in waters containing up to about 100 ppm chloride. The Mo-bearing ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ alloys will handle waters with up to about 2000 and 5000 ppm chloride, respectively. Although these alloys have been used with mixed success in seawater (19,000 ppm chloride) they are not recommended for such use. The AL-6XN® alloy with 6.2% Mo and 0.22% N is specifically designed for use in seawater. The ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ alloys are considered to be adequate for some marine environment applications such as boat rails and hardware, and facades of buildings near the ocean which are exposed to salt spray. The ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ stainless steels all perform without evidence of corrosion in the 100-hour, 5% salt spray (ASTM B117) test.

Such “sensitized” steels are subject to intergranular corrosion when exposed to aggressive environments. Where short periods of exposure are encountered, however, such as in welding, ATI 317™ alloy with its higher chromium and molybdenum content is more resistant to intergranular attack than ATI 316™ alloy for applications where light gage material is to be welded. Heavier cross sections over 7/16 inch (11.1 mm) usually require annealing even when ATI 317™ alloy is used. For applications where heavy cross sections cannot be annealed after welding or where low temperature stress relieving treatments are desired, the low carbon ATI 316L™ and ATI 317L™ alloys are available to avoid the hazard of intergranular corrosion. This provides resistance to intergranular attack with any thickness in the as-welded condition or with short periods of exposure in the 800-1500°F (427-826°C) temperature range. Where vessels require stress relieving treatment, short treatments falling within these limits can be employed without affecting the normal excellent corrosion resistance of the metal. Accelerated cooling from higher temperatures for the “L” grades is not needed when very heavy or bulky sections have been annealed. ATI 316L™ and ATI 317L™ alloys possess the same desirable corrosion resistance and mechanical properties as the corresponding higher carbon ATI 316™ and 317™ alloy, and offer an additional advantage in highly corrosive applications where intergranular corrosion is a hazard. Although the short duration heating encountered during welding or stress relieving does not produce susceptibility to intergranular corrosion, it should be noted that continuous or prolonged exposure at 800-1500°F (427-816°C) can be harmful from this standpoint with ATI 316L™ and 317L™ alloys. Also stress relieving between 1100-1500°F (593-816°C) may cause some slight embrittlement of these types. Stress Corrosion Cracking Austenitic stainless steels are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in halide environments. Although the ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ alloys are somewhat more resistant to SCC than the 18 Cr-8 Ni alloys because of their molybdenum content, they still are quite susceptible. Conditions which produce SCC are: (1) presence of halide ions (generally chloride), (2) residual tensile stresses, and (3) temperatures in excess of about 120°F (49°C). Stresses result from cold deformation or thermal cycles during welding. Annealing or stress relieving heat treatments may be effective in reducing stresses, thereby reducing sensitivity to halide SCC. Although the low carbon “L” grades offer no advantage as regards SCC resistance, they are better choices for service in the stress relieved condition in environments which might cause intergranular corrosion. Duplex (austenitic-ferritic) stainless steels, such as AL 2003™ and AL 2205™ alloys, provide greater resistance to chloride SCC.

The performance of ATI 316™ alloy is generally somewhat inferior to that of ATI 304 stainless steel which has slightly higher chromium content (18% vs.16% for ATI 316™ alloy). Since the rate of oxidation is greatly influenced by the atmosphere encountered and by operating conditions, no actual data can be presented which are applicable to all service conditions. For further information contact the ATI Technical and Commercial Center. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Structure When properly annealed, ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ stainless steel are primarily austenitic. Small quantities of ferrite may or may not be present. When slowly cooled or held in the temperature range 800-1500°F (427-816°C), carbides are precipitated and the structure consists of austenite plus carbides.

Temperature Energy Absorbed °F °C Ft-lb J 75 23 65 - 100 88 - 134 Fatigue Strength The fatigue strength or endurance limit is the maximum stress below which material is unlikely to fail in 10 million cycles in air environment. For austenitic stainless steels as a group, the fatigue strength is typically about 35 percent of the tensile strength. Substantial variability in service results is experienced since additional variables such as corrosive conditions, form of stress and mean value, surface roughness, and other factors affect fatigue properties. For this reason, no definitive endurance limit values can be given which are representative of all operating conditions.

Heat treatment may be necessary during or after fabrication to remove the effects of cold forming or to dissolve precipitated chromium carbides resulting from thermal exposures. For the ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ alloys the solution anneal is accomplished by heating in the 1900 to 2150°F (1040 to 1175°C) temperature range followed by air cooling or a water quench, depending on section thickness. Cooling should be sufficiently rapid through the 1500- 800°F (816-427°C) range to avoid re-precipitation of chromium carbides and provide optimum corrosion resistance. In every case, the metal should be cooled from the annealing temperature to black heat in less than three minutes. The ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ alloys cannot be hardened by heat treatment. Forging Initial 2100 - 2200°F (1150 - 1205°C) Finishing 1700 - 1750°F (927 - 955°C) FABRICATION The austenitic stainless steels, including the ATI 316™ and ATI 317™ alloys, are routinely fabricated into a variety of shapes ranging from the very simple to very complex. These alloys are blanked, pierced, and formed on equipment essentially the same as used for carbon steel. The excellent ductility of the austenitic alloys allows them to be readily formed by bending, stretching, deep drawing and spinning. However, because of their greater strength and work harden-ability, the power requirements for the austenitic grades during forming operations is considerably greater than for carbon steels. Attention to lubrication during forming of the austenitic alloys is essential to accommodate the high strength and galling tendency of these alloys. Welding The austenitic stainless steels are considered to be the most weldable of the stainless steels. They are routinely joined by all fusion and resistance welding processes. Two important considerations for weld joints in these alloys are: (1) avoidance of solidification cracking, and (2) preservation of corrosion resistance of the weld and heat-affected zones. Fully austenitic weld deposits are more susceptible to cracking during welding. For this reason ATI 316™, ATI 316L™, ATI 317™ and ATI 317L™ “matching” filler metals are formulated to solidify with a small amount of ferrite in the microstructure to minimize cracking susceptibility. For weldments to be used in the as-welded condition in corrosive environments, it is advisable to utilize the low carbon ATI 316L™ and ATI 317L™ base metal and filler metals. The higher the carbon level of the material being welded, the greater the likelihood the welding thermal cycles will allow chromium carbide precipitation (sensitization), which could result in intergranular corrosion. The low carbon “L” grades are designed to minimize or avoid sensitization. ATI 316Ti™ (UNS S31635, W. Nr. 1.4571) is a titanium stabilized version of ATI 316™ stainless steel. During an intermediate temperature heat treatment, titanium reacts with carbon to form titanium carbides for the purpose of preventing sensitization. High-molybdenum weld deposits may experience degraded corrosion resistance in severe environments due to micro-segregation of molybdenum. To overcome this effect, the molybdenum content of the weld filler metal should be increased. For some severe applications for the ATI 317™ alloys, weld deposits containing 4 percent or more of molybdenum may be desirable. Type 904L (AWS ER 385, 4.5% Mo) or Alloy 625 (AWS ERNiCrMo-3, 9% Mo) filler metals have been used for this purpose. Be careful to avoid copper or zinc contamination in the weld zone since these elements can form low melting point compounds which in turn can create weld cracking.

During welding, it is important that surfaces are clean and that proper inert shielding gases are used. Scale or slag that forms from welding processes should be removed with a stainless steel wire brush. Use of carbon steel wire brushes leaves particles embedded in the surface which will eventually produce rusting. For more severe applications, welded areas should be treated with a descaling solution such as a mixture of nitric and hydrofluoric acids and, subsequently, these should be thoroughly washed off with clean water. For stainless steel surfaces exposed in light inland industrial or milder service, minimum maintenance is required. Only sheltered areas need occasional washing with pressurized water. In heavy industrial or marine environments, frequent washing is advisable to remove dirt or salt deposits which might cause corrosion and impair the surface appearance of the stain-less steel surface. Stubborn spots and deposits like burned-on food can be removed by scrubbing with a nonabrasive cleaner and fiber brush, a sponge or pad of stainless steel wool. The stainless steel wool will leave permanent marks on smooth stainless steel surfaces. Stubborn spots and deposits like burned-on food can be removed by scrubbing with a nonabrasive cleaner and fiber brush, a sponge or pad of stainless steel wool. The stainless steel wool will leave permanent marks on smooth stainless steel surfaces. Many uses for stainless steel involve cleaning or sterilizing on a regular basis. Equipment is cleaned with specially formulated caustic or acid solutions, such as phosphoric or sulfamic acids, or organic solvents. Strongly reducing acids such as hydrofluoric or hydrochloric may be harmful to these stainless steels. Cleaning solutions need to be drained and stainless steel surfaces rinsed thoroughly with fresh water. Design can aid cleanability. Rounded corners, fillets and absence of crevices on stainless steel equipment facilitate cleaning as do smooth ground welds and polished surfaces. SURFACE FINISHES A range of stainless steel mill surface finishes is available. These are designated by a series of numbers: Number 1 Finish – is hot rolled, annealed and descaled. It is available for plate and sheet and is used for functional applications where a smooth decorative finish is not important. Number 2D Finish – is a dull finish produced by cold rolling, annealing and descaling. This finish is favorable for the retention of lubricants during drawing or other forming operations and is preferred for deep drawn and formed parts. Number 2B Finish – is a brighter finish than 2D. It is produced much like the 2D finish except that a light temper pass is applied after final annealing on a cold mill with polished rolls. This is a general purpose finish used for all but severe cold forming. Because it is smoother as produced, it is more readily polished than the 1 or 2D finishes. Number 2BA Finish – is a very smooth finish produced by cold rolling and bright annealing. A light cold mill 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 as-formed part. Polished Finishes – a variety of ground finishes are available. Because special equipment or processes are employed in developing these surface finishes, not all are available in the range of products produced by ATI. Surface requirements should be discussed with mill representatives.
