1. Introduction
The 316L stainless steel sheet is a low-carbon variant of the 316 stainless steel, renowned for its superior corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments. “L” in its name denotes “low carbon,” which significantly reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, thereby enhancing intergranular corrosion resistance.
2. Key Properties
2.1 Corrosion Resistance
General Corrosion: Exhibits excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive media, including acids, alkalis, and salts. It outperforms 304 stainless steel in chloride - containing environments, making it ideal for marine applications and exposure to industrial chemicals.
Pitting and Crevice Corrosion: With the addition of molybdenum, 316L shows enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, which are common in stagnant or oxygen - deprived environments.
2.2 Mechanical Properties
Tensile Strength: Typically ranges from 485 - 620 MPa (70,345 - 89,923 psi).
Yield Strength: Around 170 - 205 MPa (24,656 - 29,733 psi) in the annealed condition.
Elongation: Offers good ductility with an elongation of ≥40% in the annealed state, allowing for various forming operations without cracking.

3. Fabrication and Formability
316L stainless steel sheets can be easily fabricated using common metalworking processes such as cutting, bending, rolling, and welding. Its low - carbon content ensures that welding operations do not significantly compromise its corrosion resistance. Suitable welding methods include TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, and stick welding.
4. Applications
Marine Industry: Used for shipbuilding components, offshore platforms, and marine hardware due to its excellent resistance to seawater corrosion.
Food and Beverage Industry: Ideal for equipment and storage tanks as it complies with hygiene standards and resists corrosion from food - processing chemicals.
Pharmaceutical Industry: Applied in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical equipment and facilities, where strict hygiene and corrosion resistance are required.
Chemical Processing: Suitable for reactors, pipelines, and storage vessels handling corrosive chemicals.
Architecture: Employed in architectural applications, especially in coastal areas or regions with high pollution, for cladding, handrails, and decorative elements.
5. Surface Finishes
Available in various surface finishes to meet different application requirements:
2B Finish: A smooth, bright finish achieved by cold rolling and annealing, followed by skin - passing with light reduction. It is commonly used for general - purpose applications.
No. 4 Finish: A satin - like finish obtained by mechanical polishing with abrasive belts, often used in architectural and decorative applications.
Mirror Finish: A highly reflective finish achieved through multiple stages of polishing, suitable for high - end decorative purposes.
6. Standards and Certifications
Complies with international standards such as ASTM A240, EN 10088 - 2, and JIS G4305, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
7. Maintenance
Requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with mild detergents and water can remove surface contaminants and maintain its corrosion - resistant properties. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or materials that may scratch the surface, as scratches can potentially act as sites for corrosion initiation.
8. Packaging and Delivery
Sheets are carefully packaged to prevent scratches and damage during transportation. Options include wrapping in protective films, interleaving with paper, and securing in wooden crates. Delivery can be arranged worldwide, with customized shipping solutions to meet specific customer needs.
