Stainless Steel UNS S31700 Electrodes

Stainless Steel UNS S31700 Electrodes are chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and nitrogen alloyed metal electrodes. The chromium provides corrosion resistance by creating an invisible layer over the electrode surface that prevents rust and oxidation. Nickel adds strength to the alloy, while molybdenum improves its mechanical properties. The nitrogen content provides stability to the electrical qualities of the alloy while also providing heat resistance. These four components guarantee that Stainless Steel UNS S31700 Electrodes are amongst the most durable and permanent electricity-conducting metals available on the market.

UNS S31700 Stainless steel electrodes offer a range of solutions for welders and fabricators in numerous industries. This steel grade is beneficial for those whose work requires sufficient corrosion and oxidation resistance levels, as well as properties such as good mechanical strength, pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, and workability in extreme temperatures. It is also often employed to create marine hardware because of its proven performance when exposed to most acidic or alkaline solutions. Finally, with its high chromium content and exceptional metallurgical balance between austenite and ferrite phases, UNS S31700 stainless steel welds boast excellent fracture toughness.
