316 UNS S31600 | 316L UNS S31603 | 316FM

This austenitic stainless steel has an increased molybdenum content to increase its resistance to corrosion when compared to other 300 series alloys. It will resist scaling at temperatures up to 1600 F and maintains good mechanical properties and creep strength at high temperatures. 316L is often substituted for 316 stainless due to its superior weldability with no appreciable difference in price or properties. It combines good availability in all forms and size ranges with great strength and corrosion resistance. Components used in marine environments and chemical equipment. Suitable for any application where 316 stainless is used where stronger welds are desired. Widely used across many industries, it was initially designed for paper mill machinery. It has also been used in marine environments and a wide variety of general industrial components.
