Stainless Steel 316 316L Pipes

The stainless steel 316 L alloy contains nickel and chromium content that infuses ductile potency, greater creep rupture strength, and more to these products. To provide protection against erosion while soldering, the carbon is added in a lower quantity. This inferior carbon content makes the pipes and tubes resistant against sensitization. Therefore, they can be useful infused parts of the weighty gauge. Moreover, the excellent toughness is obtained due to the austenitic structure of the alloy. Even at the cryogenic temperature the pipes and tubes show excellent toughness.

Additionally, the SS 316L pipes and tubes are good for working in all-purpose erosion conditions. They are even good for pitting and crevice corrosion conditions due to their resistant characteristics. The SS 316 alloy is also an austenite alloy and contains molybdenum. In addition to molybdenum, nickel is also added to the alloy making pipes and tubes good for architectural purposes. Henceforth, they are useful in adulterated marine atmospheres. Even at sub-zero temperatures, the STAINLESS STEEL 316 & 316L pipes & tubes can be used. The pipes and tubes of this grade possess excellent weld-ability. Moreover, this property is maintained even if filler metal is not used while welding. Therefore, they are useful in commercial usage as well. Some of the widely used industries of pipes and tubes are marine, power generation, petrochemical, and architectural industries.
