316/316L

*Type Austenite

Characteristics

    - 316 : With the addition of Mo in 304, 316 steel is superior in corrosion resistance, pitting resistance and high temperature strength.
    - 316L : Low carbon 316 steel type. It has all the properties of 316 steel and has excellent inter-granular corrosion resistance.
