Features

1) Cold rolled product appearance good gloss, beautiful;
2) Due to the addition of Mo, corrosion resistance, especially excellent pitting resistance;
3) Excellent high temperature strength
4) Excellent work hardening (weak magnetism after processing)
5) Solid solution state non-magnetic;
6) Relative to 304 stainless steel, the price is higher.

316L is molybdenum containing stainless steel, because the steel contains molybdenum, the overall performance of the steel is better than 310 and 304 stainless steel, high temperature conditions, when the concentration of sulfuric acid is less than 15% or higher than 85%, 316L stainless steel has a wide range of uses. 316L stainless steel also has good resistance to chloride erosion, so it is usually used in Marine environments.
With a maximum carbon content of 0.03, 316L stainless steel can be used in applications where annealing cannot be performed after welding and where maximum corrosion resistance is required.

316L stainless steel has good weldability. All standard welding methods can be used for welding. When welding, 316Cb, 316L or 309Cb stainless steel filler rods or welding rods can be used according to the use. In order to obtain the best corrosion resistance, the welded section of 316 stainless steel needs to be annealed after welding. If 316L stainless steel is used, post-welding annealing is not required.
