What is 316L?

316L (UNS S31603): 16–18% Cr, 10–14% Ni, 2–3% Mo, C ≤ 0.030%. Mechanical guide: min tensile ~485 MPa (70 ksi), min yield ~170 MPa (25 ksi) typical for A312 TP316L — confirm PO.

Typical applications

  • Welded chemical / petrochemical piping
  • Heat-exchanger and condenser related stainless lines
  • Marine-adjacent and brackish water services within PREN limits
  • Pharma / biotech process piping

Selection guidance

Specify 316L for as-welded chloride service. Step up to 317L, 904L, 6Mo or duplex 2205 when pitting risk exceeds 316L.

316L vs 316Ti: Ti stabilisation vs low carbon — both address sensitization differently. 316L vs duplex 2205: duplex gives higher strength and PREN at cost of fabrication controls.
