ALLOY 316/316L - UNS S31600 / S31603
Penn Stainless inventory includes 316/316L (UNS S31600 / S31603), in sheet, sheet coil, plate, plate coil, bar, structural and tubular products. Generally, this grade is dual-certified to meet both 316 and 316L. Alloy 316/316L is ideally suited for applications requiring corrosion resistance superior to Type 304 and has good elevated temperature strength.

 

GENERAL PROPERTIES  
Alloy 316/316L is molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel.
The higher nickel and molybdenum content in this grade allows it to
demonstrate better overall corrosion resistant properties than 304,
especially with regard to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride
environments. In addition, Alloy 316/ 316L provides excellent elevated
temperature tensile, creep and stress-rupture strengths, as well as
outstanding formability and weldability. 316L is the lower carbon
version of 316 and is immune from sensitization; therefore, it is very
frequently used in heavy gauge welded components.

 

APPLICATIONS

• Food preparation equipment, especially in chloride environments
• Chemical processing, equipment
• Laboratory benches and equipment
• Rubber, plastics, pulp & paper machinery
• Pollution control equipment
• Boat fittings, value and pump trim
• Heat exchangers
• Pharmaceutical and textile industries
• Condensers, evaporators and tanks
