316 stainless steel strip is an austenitic chromium-nickel alloy steel providing great resistance to chloride ion pitting attack and general corrosion. Enhanced high temperature strength. Stress and pitting corrosion resistance to a variety of chemicals. An austenitic structure also provides good hardness below cryogenic limits.
Stainless Steel 316L, is relatively a lower carbon austentic steel than SS 316. This material is also immune from sensitization and hence used in heavy gauge welded components.
Applications of 316 and 316L Stainless Steel Applications:
Paper, textile and photographic sectors, chemical equipments, digesters, tanks, evaporators, pulp, paper and fabric processing system, components used in marine conditions, tubes, heat exchangers, jet engine components, architectural operations in vigorous sites, food processing in chloride conditions, mining and medical implants. Widely used on industrial scale in welding applications.
Processing of 316 and 316L Stainless Steel:
Annealing up to 1900 to 2100oF or 1038 to 1149oC then cooled quickly. High functional Grade 316/316l is easily formed and drawn. But thermal processing cannot be implemented to harden this steel grade. It can be normally welded by ordinary fusion and resistance methods. Care should be taken to prevent weld hot cracking by the confirmed production of ferrite on the weld material. Oxyacetyle welding technique is not recommended for grade 316/316l.
Quick machining results into hardening of the steel. Therefore slow speeds and regular feed rates are suggested.
