Grade 316L Stainless Steel
316L austenitic stainless steel is a low carbon version of 316 and is melted as AOD, AOD + VAR, or VIM + VAR melt type. The low carbon helps improve weldability as compared to the 316 as well as improved corrosion resistance. The added Molybedum in 316L gives this grade much better pitting resistance than the traditional 304L stainless. This alloy is one of the most widely used stainless steels showing up in just about every industry and is often used in seawater applications due to the pitting resistance.
