AISI 316&316LStainless Steel Shee&Plate

316/316L Stainless Steel Sheet/Plate | East King

INTRODUCTION：

316L is a kind of molybdenum containing stainless steel.The microstructure is austenitic stainless steel. Due to the molybdenum content in the steel, the overall performance of this steel is better than 310 and 304 stainless steel. Under high temperature conditions, when the concentration of sulfuric acid is lower than 15% or higher than 85%, 316L stainless steel has a wide range of applications. 316L stainless steel also has good resistance to chloride corrosion, so it is usually used in marine environment. The maximum carbon content of 316L stainless steel is 0.03, which can be used in applications where annealing cannot be carried out after welding and maximum corrosion resistance is required, Pulp and paper equipment, heat exchanger, dyeing equipment, film processing equipment, pipelines, materials for the exterior of buildings in coastal areas, as well as watch chains and case of advanced watches. Equipment used in seawater, chemical, dye, papermaking, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment; photography, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD rods, bolts, nuts

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES:

CORROSION RESISTANCE:

316L has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry because of its excellent corrosion resistance. 316L is also a derivative steel type of 18-8 austenitic stainless steel with 2 to 3% Mo element added. On the basis of 316L, many steel grades are derived, for example, 316Ti is derived after adding a small amount of Ti, 316N is derived after adding a small amount of N, and 317L is derived after increasing the content of Ni and Mo.

Most of the existing 316L on the market is produced in accordance with the American standard. For cost considerations, steel mills generally try to lower the Ni content of products as much as possible. The American standard stipulates that the 316L Ni content is 10 to 14%, while the Japanese standard stipulates that the 316L Ni content is 12 to 15%. According to the minimum standard, the American standard and the Japanese standard have a 2% difference in Ni content, which is still quite huge in terms of price, so customers still need to see clearly when purchasing 316L products. Whether the products refer to ASTM or JIS standards.

The Mo content of 316L makes this steel has excellent pitting corrosion resistance, and can be safely applied to environments containing Cl- and other halogen ions. Because the main application of 316L is its chemical properties, steel mills have slightly lower requirements for surface inspection of 316L (relative to 304), and customers with higher surface requirements should strengthen surface inspection.
