Alloy 304L

Alloy 316L - Austenitic Stainless Steel

Alloy 316L is a low-carbon version of the widely used 316 stainless steel. It is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich environments such as seawater and chemicals. The lower carbon content reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, making it ideal for welded applications where resistance to intergranular corrosion is essential.
