In order to create a more permanent joint, it is possible to weld fittings to a pipe or a tube in a piping system. Similar to pipes, Stainless Steel 317L Pipe Fittings also permit the flow of media from one sector to another. However, unlike pipes, fittings are devices that act as flow regulators, and they change the direction of flow, making them an integral part of piping systems. While some fittings such as 317L Stainless Elbows direct the flow at angles of 45 or 90 degrees, other fittings work towards regulating the flow of media such as reducers. Since welding these 317L Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings creates a more permanent joint, it is necessary to ensure the right materials are used to construct the piping systems.
Aside from improper welding techniques and lack of cleaning, the most common cause of intergranular corrosion is the formation of chromium carbides, which has a negative impact on the fittings. But due to the modification in the chemistry of ASTM A403 Wp317L Reducer, this alloy can outperform several conventional alloys, making it a viable candidate for welding operations. The modification done here is that the content of carbon is lowered in 317L Stainless Steel Fitting such that it amounts to about 0.03% of the total weight. Similar to most austenitic alloys that have lowered carbon modifications, the new chemistry reduces the strength of the A403 Wp317L Tee. To combat the effects of the loss in strength, the reduced carbon content is replaced with nitrogen in its alloy, thus bringing up the strength of 317L Pipe Fittings at par to that of grade 317.
