Stainless Steel Grade 316L | UNS# S31603 is a standard molybdenum bearing grade in the austenitic family of Stainless Steels. The inclusion of molybdenum gives 316L better corrosion resistance against pitting and chloride environments than Stainless Steel grade 304. 316L is also the low carbon variant of 316 and demonstrates a high immunity sensitization. Because of these desirable qualities, 316L is widely used in the chemical production, oil & gas, and similar markets. 316L is also shows excellent fabricability, strength, toughness, and performs well even in cryogenic temperatures.
