Stainless steel 316L concept

Stainless steel 316L is a low-carbon stainless steel material, which is a low-carbon version of 316 stainless steel. It contains a low carbon content, usually below 0.03%, to prevent intergranular corrosion. In addition, 316L stainless steel also contains high chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni) and molybdenum (Mo) elements, which make it have excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and strength.

 

Stainless steel 316L features

 

Excellent corrosion resistance: 316L stainless steel performs well in a variety of corrosive media, including seawater, chloride solutions, sulfuric and nitric acids. Its corrosion resistance is better than 304 stainless steel, especially in high temperature and strong corrosive environments.

 

Good high temperature resistance: 316L stainless steel can still maintain a certain strength and toughness at high temperature, suitable for high temperature processing and manufacturing.

 

High strength: 316L stainless steel has high tensile strength and yield strength, which is suitable for manufacturing high-strength structural parts.

 

Good welding performance: 316L stainless steel is easy to weld, and it is not easy to produce intergranular corrosion after welding.

 

Good biocompatibility: In the medical field, 316L stainless steel is widely used in the manufacture of medical devices and artificial joints because of its good biocompatibility.

 

Stainless steel 316L application range

 

Chemical equipment: 316L stainless steel is widely used in chemical reactors, storage tanks, pipelines, valves and pumps because of its excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

 

Shipbuilding: In the construction of ships, 316L stainless steel is used to manufacture hulls, pipes and accessories, etc., to improve the corrosion resistance and service life of ships.

 

Medical devices: 316L stainless steel is widely used in the manufacture of medical devices, surgical instruments and artificial joints due to its good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.

 

Food processing equipment: 316L stainless steel is used in the food processing industry to manufacture equipment to ensure the safety and hygiene of food processing.

 

Environmental protection equipment: 316L stainless steel can be used to manufacture waste gas treatment equipment, sewage treatment equipment and other environmental protection equipment to cope with corrosive media.

 

Construction field: 316L stainless steel is used in the construction industry for exterior wall decoration, interior decoration and handrail, etc., because of its good decorative performanc
