AISI 316L stainless steel strip
High resistance in chlorides; low carbon for welding.
Description
AISI 316L (EN 1.4404, X2CrNiMo17-12-2) is the low-carbon version of AISI 316 and one of the most requested stainless grades for technical applications. Molybdenum provides excellent resistance to chlorides and weak acids, while carbon limited to 0.030% prevents intergranular corrosion after welding. It is widely used in the medical, pharmaceutical, food, chemical, marine and sensor industries. 3S supplies AISI 316L precision strip annealed 2R/BA with a bright surface and work-hardened 2H for spring components, as strip, narrow strips from 3 mm, spools with inner diameters from 50 to 400 mm and sheets, from 0.05 to 0.70 mm (annealed) and from 0.05 to 2.50 mm (work-hardened).
Properties
- Excellent resistance to chlorides and aggressive media
- Low carbon for welded components
- Bright BA surface, also suitable for visible parts
- Available annealed 2R/BA or work-hardened 2H
