Description: CLC 17-13-3LN is a nitrogen alloyed austenitic stainless steel with Mo additions. Its low carbon content avoids intergranular corrosion, even on welded pieces without an ulterior water quenching. Alloys CLC 17-13-3LN exhibits austenitic microstructure free of deleterious carbide precipitations in grain boundaries. The grade contains residual ferrite (= 2%) after solution annealing (1050 - 1150°C / 1922 - 2102°F) and water quenching. Higher Molybdenum content improves uniform and localized corrosion resistance. Nitrogen additions improve the structure stability and increase the yield strength compared to CLC 17-12-2L. Main properties of CLC 17-13-3LN are : high ductility, easy weldability, mirror polishability. Typical applications are food and beverage processing industry, chemical industry and chemical tankers.
