316 stainless steel Usage
Because of its excellent corrosion resistance, it has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry. Its characteristics are plasticity, toughness, cold denaturation, and good welding process performance. Because of its low carbon content and 2%-3% molybdenum, it has improved Corrosion resistance of reducing salts and various inorganic and organic acids, alkalis, salts, and high temperature strength.
The main uses are heat exchangers for pulp and papermaking equipment, dyeing equipment, film washing equipment, pipelines, and external materials for buildings in coastal areas. It is also used in the field of solenoid valves, the main answer is to be used for housing, clamp, ball, valve body, valve seat, nut, valve stem, etc.
What is the difference between 316 and 316L?
1. Different ingredients
316L is ultra-low carbon, and L stands for low carbon, so the carbon content of 316L is lower than that of 316.
316 chemical composition C (carbon) ≤0.08, 316L chemical composition (%): C (carbon) ≤0.03
2. Different corrosion resistance
316L stainless steel has better resistance to intergranular corrosion and better anti-corrosion and anti-rust ability.
3. Different intensity
The strength of 316L material is lower than that of 316, which is convenient for processing.
Yield strength: 316 material is 210 (N/MM2), 316L material is 180 (N/MM2).
Tensile strength: 316 material is 520 (N/MM2), 316L material is 480 (N/MM2)
4. Different welding methods
The welded section of 316 stainless steel requires post-weld annealing treatment, while 316L stainless steel does not.
5. There are differences in grades
316 grade: the old grade is 0Cr17Ni12Mo2, and the new grade is 06C17N12M2, which is the American standard TP316 and the Japanese standard SUS316.
316L grade: The old grade is 00Cr17Ni14Mo2, and the grade is 022C17N12M2, which is the standard TP316L and the Japanese standard SUS316L.
6. Heat resistance
316 material can be used intermittently below 1600 degrees and continuous use below 1700 degrees, but it is best not to use 316 stainless steel in the range of 800-1575 degrees.
316L stainless steel has better resistance to carbide precipitation than 316 stainless steel, and it can also be used in the temperature range of 800-1575 degrees.
