What exactly is 316 Stainless Steel?
There are many alloys that are added to steel to improve the desired properties. Steel that has been treated as marine grade, called Type 316, is resistant to certain types of corrosive environments.
There are many varieties of stainless steel 316. Most commonly used are L, F, , and H variants. Each has its own distinct characteristics, and each has an entirely different purpose. L means that 316L steel has less carbon than 316.
of 316, 316L and 316 Stainless Steel Common Quality
Though they’re similar to Type 304 commonly found in the food industry, the Type 316 and 316L both have higher resistance to corrosion. They also have greater strength at high temperatures. They cannot also be hardened with heat treatments and can be easily stretched and shaped.
Differentialities between 316L and 316 Stainless Steel
316L stainless steel is less carbon content than the 316. But even with its lesser carbon contents, 316L is very similar to 316 in nearly every way. It is priced similarly, and both are tough and resistant to corrosion, making it a suitable choice for extreme stress situations.
For projects that require lots or welding may be a better option since 316 is more prone to welding corrosion over an 316L (corrosion at the seam). But, the 316 is able to be annealed in order to prevent welding attenuation. Also, 316L is a suitable stainless for high temperatures and high corrosion applications and that is the reason it is used for marine and construction.
It is not clear if 316 or 316L is the best option. The 304 is comparable to 304L but the cost is less. It isn’t as durable as the 317 or 317L that have greater molybdenum content as well as better in general resistance to corrosion.
