FAQ
The primary difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel is the carbon content. 316L has a lower carbon content (≤ 0.03%) compared to 316 (≤ 0.08%). This lower carbon content reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, enhancing corrosion resistance in welded structures.
316/316L stainless steel flanges offer excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly in environments containing chlorides, such as seawater and chemical processing applications. The molybdenum content in these alloys enhances their ability to resist pitting and crevice corrosion.
316/316L stainless steel flanges typically meet various industry standards such as ASTM A182, ASME B16.5, and DIN standards, ensuring they are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Summary
SSM offers 316/316L stainless steel flanges with excellent corrosion resistance, making them particularly suitable for environments containing chlorine and marine conditions. They maintain outstanding mechanical performance at high temperatures, and the low-carbon version (316L) reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, enhancing corrosion resistance in welded structures. SSM’s 316/316L stainless steel flanges are ideal for use in industries such as chemical processing, marine engineering, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, meeting the stringent requirements of various industrial applications. All flanges comply with international standards such as ASTM A182 and ASME B16.5, ensuring their reliability and safety in diverse applications.
