Shield-Bright 317 was developed for out-of-position welding when the addition of Molybdenum improves corrosion resistance.
Shield-Bright 317L is recommended for welding Type 317 and 317L stainless steel. It can also be used for Type 316L where additonal weld metal corrosion resistance, including pitting resistance, is required.This is used in industries where there is severe corrosion applications involving sulfuric and sulfurous acids and their salts.
Shield-Bright 317L was developed for welding in all position
