Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steel: 316L/316 Stainless Steel

Writer: simon masssimon mass

316L Stainless Steel or 316 stainless steel is a Chromium-Nickel stainless steel with added molybdenum to increase corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. It is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and not hardenable by heat treatment. Please contact Best Stainless for more information about how 316 Stainless Steel can best suit your specific application.  We also distribute a variety of other grades of stainless steel, including 410 Stainless Steel.
