✓ Corrosion Resistance: Excellent in atmospheric environments and many corrosive media. Known as "marine grade stainless steel," it is resistant to potable water with chlorides up to 1000 mg/L.
✓ Heat Resistance: Good oxidation resistance in intermittent service to 870°C and continuous service to 925°C.
✓ Technology: Excellent weldability and machinability. 316L is easier to machine than standard 316 due to lower carbon content.
316L steel is a medical-grade stainless steel highly indispensable in the medical field:
