316 stainless data sheet.

Types 316 and 316l are molybdenum bearing austenitic stainless steel which are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium nickel austenitic stainless steel such as type 304. These alloys also offer higher creep stress to rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperature. 316 316l stainless steel product description type 316l is an extra low carbon variation of type 316 that eliminates harmful carbide precipitation due to welding. Alloy 316 316l applicationsalloy 316 316l uns s31600 s31603 is a chromium nickel molybdenum austenitic stainless steel developed to provide improved corrosion resistance to alloy 304 304l in moderately corrosive environments.

E316l coated electrodes er316l for tig wire er316lsi for mig wiretechnical data sheet weld energies should be limited to the weld areas to avoid hot cracking. No annealing of the weld zone is required as the alloy is designed to avoid intergranular corrosion.

Description an austenitic stainless steel containing mo to increase resistance to pitting corrosion. 316 stainless steel has molybdenum added which is an alloy drastically enhancing corrosion resistance especially for more saline or chloride exposed environments. Properties are similar to 304 304l however 316l exibits higher strength at elevated temperatures.
