316L Stainless Steel Sheet

Overview of Alloys 316 and 316L

Alloys 316 (UNS S31600) and 316L (UNS S31603) are molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels. These alloys offer superior resistance to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion compared to standard chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels like Alloy 304.

Key Benefits

• 부식 저항: Higher resistance to corrosion and pitting than conventional alloys.
• Strength at High Temperatures: Enhanced creep, stress-to-rupture, and tensile strength when exposed to elevated temperatures.
• Fabricability and Formability: Excellent ease of fabrication and forming, characteristic of austenitic stainless steels.

응용

Due to their exceptional properties, Alloys 316 and 316L are ideal for applications requiring both high strength and corrosion resistance.
