About 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel
What is 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel?
Grade 316L stainless steel is a kind of austenitic stainless steel, a lower carbon variant of 316 stainless steel.
It is also referred to as the UNS S31603/W.Nr. 1.4404 stainless steel.
Both 316 and 316L stainless steels contain molybdenum, but 316L stainless contain more molybdenum than 316 stainless steel. Though 316L features better corrosion resistance than 316, but its mechanical properties are not as good as 316.
Due to the addition of molybdenum in the steel, the overall performance of 316L steel is superior to that of 310S and 304L stainless steel.
Grade 316L stainless steel is available in all standard mill forms including pipe, rod, bar, plate, sheet, strip and foil products.
