316l stainless steel coi has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties, good hot workability such as stamping, bending, and no heat treatment hardening. Uses: tableware, cabinets, boilers, auto parts, medical appliances, building materials, food industry (use temperature -196°C-700°C).The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. It is the preferred steel for use in marine environments because of its greater resistance to pitting corrosion than other grades of steel. The fact that it is negligibly responsive to magnetic fields means that it can be used in applications where a non-magnetic metal is required. In addition to molybdenum, 316 also contains a number of other elements in varying concentrations. Like other grades of stainless steel, marine grade stainless steel is a relatively poor conductor of both heat and of electricity when compared to metals and other conductive materials.The chemical composition of grade 316 Stainless Steel is outlined in the following table.
