Credibility ,Grade 316 / 316L | UNS S31600 / UNS S31603 | 1.4401 / 1.4404
These steels are the second most regularly specified stainless steels after Type 304 stainless steel and are part of the SAE defined 300 Series which encompasses a range of austenitic chromium-nickel alloys. Austenitic stainless steels like Type 316L stainless steel is widely available, have good general corrosion resistance, good cryogenic toughness, and excellent formability and weldability.
Type 316 stainless steel has 2-3% Molybdenum included in its chemical composition which prevents specific forms of corrosion and generally enhances its corrosion resistance. Type 316 stainless steel is often referred to as “marine grade” stainless due to its increased resistance to chloride corrosion compared to Type 304 stainless steel making it a very suitable material for use in salt water environments.
Type 316L stainless steel is a variant of Type 316 stainless steel and differs by having a lower Carbon content as well as slightly lower yield and tensile strengths. Type 316L stainless steel offers improved weldability and also reduces the possibility of lower corrosion resistance around welded areas.
As with most steel plate products a number of different designations are used for these stainless steels. The most common are:
Typical chemical and mechanical properties of Type 316 stainless steel and Type 316L stainless steel:
Chemical Analysis (%) | PREN | Mechanical Properties | |||||||
C | Cr | Ni | Mo | Proof Stress | Tensile | Elongation | |||
316 | .08 | 17 | 11.5 | - | 24 | 255 | 550-700 | 40 | |
316L | .03 | 17 | 11.5 | - | 24 | 220 | 520-670 | 40 |
