316L Austenitic Stainless Steel

Description

316L is a stainless steel material whose chemical composition and mechanical properties comply with national standards. 

As a material with high corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and strong corrosion resistance, 316L is widely used in marine engineering, the petrochemical industry, medical equipment, and other fields.

Property & Specification

1) The appearance of cold-rolled products is glossy and beautiful;

2) Due to the addition of Mo, the corrosion resistance, especially pitting corrosion resistance, is excellent;

3) Excellent high-temperature strength

4) Excellent work hardening (weak magnetism after processing)

5) Non-magnetic in solid solution state;

6) Compared with 304 stainless steel, the price is higher.

Application Fields of 316L Stainless Steel 

• Because 316L stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance, it is widely used in marine engineering, the petrochemical industry, medical equipment, and other fields.

• For example, in marine engineering, 316L stainless steel can be used to manufacture offshore oil platforms, submarine pipelines, and other facilities; in the field of medical equipment, 316L stainless steel can be used to manufacture medical supplies such as surgical instruments and dental equipment.

Processing and Welding Properties of 316L Stainless Steel 

• 316L stainless steel material has good processing performance and can be used for cutting, shearing, bending, drilling, and other processing operations.

• At the same time, 316L stainless steel has good welding performance and can be welded using a variety of welding methods, such as tungsten arc welding, melting arc welding, etc.

• During the welding process, attention should be paid to controlling the welding temperature and cooling rate to avoid problems such as cracks and deformation of the material.

Maintenance of 316L Stainless Steel 

• During use, 316L stainless steel materials should be cleaned and maintained regularly to maintain their good appearance and performance.

• You can use soapy water or neutral detergent for cleaning. Avoid using chlorine-containing or acidic detergents.

• At the same time, care should be taken to avoid scratching or abrading the material surface to maintain its beauty and corrosion resistance.
