SS 316L Plate Hot Rolled Stainless Steel Plate 316
SS 316L PLATE ASTM A240 316L Stainless Steel Plate NO.1 Finished 2000mm Width.
In ASTM A240, type 316 and 316L is a chromium nickel austenitic steel. Element
molybdenum addition enhances corrosion resistance of stainless steel, which is
the main factor that 316/316L is more corrosion resistant than 304/304L. When
316L steel of low carbon content is only a little higher than 316 steel on
strength level. So sometimes grade 316L is almost the same as 316 grade.
Another difference, 316L can be used for weld treatment as it contains lower carbon.
316/316L steel has outstanding corrosion resistant properties, whether in
atmospheric or oxidizing environments, even for marine atmosphere. It shows
excellent corrosion resistance in welded state. Normally 316/316L steel shows
no magnetic in annealed condition. Cold drawn or cold rolling process may make
it with little magnetic, and it can be fixed with further processing.
Applications of ASTM A240 316/316L
316/316L plate is used to manufacture products for applications that are exposed to:
- Salt water environments
- Acids such as sulfuric acid and chloride
- Petrochemicals and chemicals
- High-heat applications such as engines and motors
Products include tanks, supports and frames, enclosures and housings, engine,
motor and machinery components and parts.
