What's 316? Stainless Steel?
Many alloys are added onto steel to increase the desired properties. Marine-grade stainless steel, commonly referred to as Type 316, is resistant to certain types of corrosion-prone environments.
There are several different kinds for stainless steel that are 316. Common types include L, F, N, and H variations. They are all slightly different as well as each is employed for reasons that are different. L means that 316L steel is an amount of carbon that is lower than 316.
The 316 and the 316L Stainless Steel Common Quality
Although they're similar to Type 304 commonly found in the food industry, the Type 316 and 316L both exhibit better corrosion resistance and are stronger at higher temperatures. They can't be strengthened by heat treatment and can be easily stretched and shaped.
Differentialities between 316L and 316 Stainless Steel
The stainless steel of 316L is lower in carbon than 316. But even with its smaller carbon percentage, 316L is very similar with 316 in practically every way. The cost is comparable while both are extremely durable and resistant to corrosion, which makes them the ideal choice for difficult-to-reach situations.
For projects that require a lot for welding, then 316L may be a better choice because 316 is more susceptible to welding corrosion rather than 316L (corrosion at the seam). However, 316 can be annealed to protect against welding attenuation. The 316L is an extremely suitable stainless steel for use in high temperatures, high corrosion tasks This is why it is so popular for marine and construction.
The 316L and 304L are not the same. 316L is the least expensive option. The 304 is comparable to the 304L and 304L, however, the price is much lower. Both are not as durable as the 317 or 317L which have a more molybdenum in them and better quality corrosion resistant overall.
