A240 316LN Cold Rolled Sheet Stainless Steel Material

A240 316LN cold rolled stainless steel material belongs to chromium, chromium-nickel, and chromium-manganese-nickel stainless steel. Grade 316LN is available in steel plate, sheet, and strip. A240 316LN stainless steel material is suitable for pressure vessels and for general applications.
Properties:
Grade 316LN is similar to UNS S31653. It has low carbon content for improved resistance against intergranular corrosion after welding, increased nitrogen content for improved mechanical strength and increased molybdenum content for slightly improved corrosion resistance. Due to their molybdenum content, the austenitic CrNiMo standard grades can be used in applications that demand increased corrosion resistance. Their well-balanced material properties make them suitable for the fabrication of many products. Because of its more stable austenitic structure, ASTM A240 cold rolled sheet has a lower magnetic permeability than the austenitic CrNiMo standard grades.
The steel shall conform to the ASTM standard requirements as to chemical composition and the mechanical properties specified.
Chemical Composition:
