Due to the addition of Mo element, 316 stainless steel corrosion resistance, and high temperature strength has a greater improvement, high temperature resistance can reach 1200-1300 degrees, can be used in the harsh conditions

Application: seawater equipment, chemical, dye, paper, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment;Photography, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD sticks, bolts, nuts.

Welding
Excellent weldability by all standard fusion and resistance methods, both with and without filler metals. Heavy welded sections in Grade 316 require post-weld annealing for maximum corrosion resistance. This is not required for 316L.
316L stainless steel is not generally weldable using oxyacetylene welding methods.

Machining
316L stainless steel tends to work harden if machined too quickly. For this reason low speeds and constant feed rates are recommended.
316L stainless steel is also easier to machine compared to 316 stainless steel due its lower carbon content.

Hot and Cold Working
316Lstainless steel can be hot worked using most common hot working techniques. Optimal hot working temperatures should be in the range 1150-1260°C, and certainly should not be less than 930°C. Post work annealing should be carried out to induce maximum corrosion resistance.
Most common cold working operations such as shearing, drawing and stamping can be performed on 316 stainless steel. Post work annealing should be carried out to remove internal stresses.
