The “316” designation in Stainless Steel 316/316L tubing refers to the composition of the alloy, which typically contains around 16-18% chromium, 10-14% nickel, and 2-3% molybdenum. This particular combination of elements gives the tubing its excellent corrosion resistance properties, even in harsh and corrosive environments.
The “L” in the designation refers to the low carbon content of the alloy, which enhances its weldability and makes it less susceptible to sensitization and intergranular corrosion. This makes it ideal for applications that involve weldings, such as in the fabrication of pipelines and other structural components.
