The Difference Between 316 and 316L Stainless Steel Sheets

316 Stainless Steel Sheet

Performance Introduction: 316 stainless steel, with the addition of molybdenum, boasts exceptional corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance, and high-temperature strength, making it suitable for use under stringent conditions; it also exhibits excellent work-hardening properties (non-magnetic).

Scope of Application: Equipment used in sea water, chemicals, dyes, papermaking, oxalic acid, fertilizers, and other production facilities; photographic, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD poles, bolts, nuts.

316L stainless steel plate (L denotes low carbon)

Performance Introduction: As a low-carbon series of the 316 steel grade, it boasts the same properties as 316 steel, with superior intergranular corrosion resistance.

Application Scope: Products with specific requirements for combating grain boundary corrosion.
