The corrosion resistance, and high temperature strength of 316 stainless steel have been greatly improved due to the addition of Mo element. The high temperature resistance can reach 1200-1300 degrees and can be used under harsh conditions. Excellent work hardening (non-magnetic); Excellent high temperature strength; No magnetism in solid solution state; Cold rolled products have good gloss and beautiful appearance. Uses: seawater equipment, chemical, dye, papermaking, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment; Photography, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD rods, bolts, nuts.

316L is widely used in the chemical industry because of its excellent corrosion resistance. 316L is also a derivative steel of 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, with 2 ~ 3% Mo added. On the basis of 316L, many steel grades are also derived. For example, 316Ti is derived after adding a small amount of Ti, 316N is derived after adding a small amount of N, and 317L is derived by increasing the content of Ni and mo.
The Mo content of 316L makes the steel have excellent pitting corrosion resistance and can be safely applied to the environment containing halogen ions such as Cl -. Since 316L is mainly used for its chemical properties, steel mills have slightly lower requirements for surface inspection of 316L (compared with 304), and customers with higher surface requirements should strengthen surface inspection.
