What is 316 Stainless Steel?
Sometimes, alloys are added onto steel to increase the desired properties. The marine-grade stainless steel also known as Type 316, is resistant to certain types of environment that are corrosive.
There are several different kinds of stainless-steel 316. Common types include L, F, , and H variations. Each one is distinct, as well as each is employed for the same purpose. L means 316L steel has low carbon levels, below 316.
312, 316, and 316L Stainless Steel Common Quality
Although they’re not as similar to Type 304 commonly found in the food industry, Type 316 and 316L both have higher resistance to corrosion. They also are stronger at higher temperatures. They cannot be harmed by heat treatment , and can be easily bent and stretched.
A distinction between the 316 and 316L Stainless Steel
Steel 316L has less carbon content than the 316. Even though it has a low carbon levels, 316L is very similar to 316 nearly in every way. The price is comparable, and both are durable and resistant to corrosion, making an ideal choice for extreme stress situations.
For projects that require lots the use of welding, then 316L can be a more suitable choice since 316 is more susceptible to welding corrosion rather than an 316L (corrosion on the inside of the welding). However, the 316 can be annealed so that it can resist welding attenuation. The 316L is an extremely suitable stainless steel for high temperature, high corrosion applications and that is the reason it is used in construction and Marine projects.
Both 316 and 316L is the cheapest choice. The 304 is comparable to 304L and 304L, however, the price is lower. The 304 is not as robust as the 317 or 317L that have greater molybdenum content as well as better overall corrosion resistance.
