SS 316/316L

SS 316 and SS 316L are part of the austenitic stainless steel family and are considered the second most popular grades of stainless steel after SS 304. They are highly regarded for their enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly in environments where SS 304 might not be sufficient. SS 316 is the standard alloy, while SS 316L is a low-carbon variant of 316, offering improved weldability and resistance to intergranular corrosion.
