316L stainless steel square tubes are a low-carbon variant of 316 stainless steel, renowned for exceptional corrosion resistance—especially in aggressive environments like saltwater and chemical exposures. Their square cross-section adds structural stability, making them a staple in demanding industrial and architectural applications.
What Are 316L Stainless Steel Square Tubes?
316L stainless steel square tubes are hollow, square-shaped components crafted from 316L alloy, a molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel. The "L" denotes low carbon (≤0.03%), which minimizes carbide precipitation during welding—critical for maintaining corrosion resistance in welded structures. This alloy bridges strength, formability, and durability, outperforming standard 304 in harsh conditions.
Chemical Composition
The precise chemistry of 316L ensures its unique properties, as defined by key standards:
Element
Content Range (%)
Role
Chromium (Cr)
16.0–18.0
Forms a passive oxide layer, resisting corrosion.
Nickel (Ni)
10.0–14.0
Enhances austenitic structure, improving ductility and toughness.
Molybdenum (Mo)
2.0–3.0
Boosts resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion (e.g., in saltwater).
Carbon (C)
≤0.03
Low carbon prevents carbide formation during welding, preserving corrosion resistance.
Manganese (Mn)
≤2.0
Aids in deoxidation and strengthens the alloy.
Silicon (Si)
≤1.0
Improves oxidation resistance at high temperatures.
Phosphorus (P)
≤0.045
Controlled to avoid brittleness.
Sulfur (S)
≤0.03
Minimized to enhance weldability.

Specifications
316L square tubes are available in a range of sizes to suit diverse needs:
Side Length: 10mm to 300mm (e.g., 25×25mm, 60×60mm, 150×150mm).
Wall Thickness: 0.8mm to 12mm (thicker walls for high-pressure or heavy-load use).
Length: Standard 6m; customizable up to 12m for large-scale projects.
Finish:
Mill finish (2B): Smooth, for industrial use.
Polished (BA/mirror): Reflective, for decorative applications.
Brushed: Matte texture, common in marine or architectural trim.
