Fabrication

Cold forming

Ultra 317L can be readily formed and fabricated by a full range of cold working operations. It can be used in heading, drawing and bending. Any cold working operations will increase the strength and hardness of the material and may leave it slightly magnetic. Work hardening is aaccentuated by the partial transformation of the austenite phase of the material to hard martensite. For more information contact Avesta Research Centre.

Welding

Ultra 317L can be readily welded by a full range of conventional welding methods such as:
Shielded metal arc welding (SMAW)
Gas tungsten arc welding, TIG (GTAW)
Gas metal arc welding, MIG (GMAW)
Flux-cored arc welding (FCAW)
Plasma arc welding (PAW)
Submerged arc welding (SAW)

Subsequent passes may cause precipitates of secondary phases in the weld metal. For this reason a low heat input and a maximum interpass temperature of 100ºC should be used.
