What is AISI 316 / AISI316L?
AISI 316 / AISI 316L has good resistance in non-oxidizing acids and environments containing chlorine. Defines steels containing austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum. Due to the chemical composition, AISI 316 / AISIS 316L materials are naturally corrosion resistant metal alloys. The names of the AISI 316 quality class vary according to the elements contained and their ratios. Below are some quality classes.
1.4401 – X5CrNiMo17-12-2 (AISI 316)
1.4404 – X2CrNiMo17-12-2 (AISI 316L)
1.4435 – X2CrNiMo18-14-3 (AISI 316L)
AISI 316L differs from AISI 316 in low carbon content. The “L” in this case stands for “low carbon”.
Materials 1.4401 and 1.4404 belonging to the V4A Group are easy to machine and weld. With the addition of 2-2.5% molybdenum, both grades show good corrosion resistance even in the presence of chloride. These stainless steel materials are widely used in the construction, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It is used both in the low temperature range and in a range up to 550°C.
Material grade 1.4435, also called 316L stainless steel, is defined as a non-magnetic steel. Delta ferrite content max. 0.5% May be used in accordance with 97/23 EG Pressure Equipment guidelines. Application areas of this material are petroleum/petrochemical or optical industries.
AISI316/316L stainless steel products have an important place especially in the maritime industry. They are very useful in an abrasive and corrosive environment such as sea water. They are also economical due to their longevity. AISI 316/316L materials are very useful in highly corrosive environments such as the chemical industry.
