Features of 316L Stainless steel

Category: Business

316L, a low carbon variant of 316, resists sensitization and precipitation of grain boundary carbides. Due to its high gauge (over 6 mm) welded parts, it is frequently used. It demonstrates excellent resistance to chlorides and complex sulfur compounds in pulp and paper industries, as well as superior corrosion resistance in marine and industrial environments. Adding molybdenum to stainless steel pipe fittings enhances its resistance to pitting corrosion and provides higher creep resistance at elevated temperatures.
