Product Introduction

316L is the most popular low‑carbon molybdenum‑bearing austenitic stainless steel. Molybdenum improves its pitting resistance compared with 304L. Low carbon minimizes intergranular corrosion risk after welding. It is supplied in straight lengths for heat exchangers, piping and general instrument service.

Key Advantages

• Good resistance to mild chloride, atmospheric and organic acid corrosion

• Low carbon, no sensitization risk after welding

• Excellent weldability and formability

• Non‑magnetic after solution annealing

• Cost-effective general corrosion grade

Typical Applications

Heat exchanger straight tubes, general chemical process piping, water treatment piping, food & pharmaceutical equipment, low-chloride instrument straight tubing.
