Type 316 (UNS S31600), Type 316L (UNS S31603) Description

Type 316/316L is a chromium nickel austenitic stainless steel containing molybdenum. The molybdenum addition enhances the corrosion resistance over that of 304/304L in halide environments as well as in reducing acids such as sulfuric and phosphoric acid. Type 316L can be dual certified as 316 when the composition meets the lower carbon limit of 316L and the slightly higher strength levels of 316. Type 316L should be specified for welded applications as the low carbon version eliminates chromium carbide precipitation and enhances the corrosion resistance in the as-welded condition.

Type 316/316L resists atmospheric corrosion as well as in moderately oxidizing environments. It also resists corrosion in marine atmospheres and has excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion in the as-welded condition. Type 316/316L has excellent strength and toughness at cryogenic temperatures. Type 316/316L is non-magnetic in the annealed condition but may become slightly magnetic as a result of severe cold working.

Main Specification:

Chemical Composition
Chemical Composition (wt%) limits as specified in ASTM A240 and ASME SA240*

Mechanical Properties
Mechanical property requirements for annealed product as specified in ASTM A240 and ASME SA240

Mechanical property requirements for cold worked flat rolled products as specified in ASTM A666

Application

Construction encasement, doors, windows and armatures, offshore modules, cisterns and pipes for chemical tankers, production, warehousing and overland transportation of chemicals, food and beverages, pharmacy, synthetic fibre, paper and textile plants and pressure vessels. Due to the low C-content, the resistance to intergranular corrosion is also guaranteed in the welded condition.

About Us

JUYE metal was established in 2017 and is located in Ningbo City，which is one of the China’s largest international port cities, with convenient transportation facilities and mature commercial service network for steel products.

We are a fast-growing company, nearly all the staffs have over 10 years of professional experience in stainless steel industry. We specialize in the manufacturing, processing, distributing, warehousing and logistics of stainless steel products. We cover all aspects of the services, from the source of the stainless steel industry chain to the final products recycling and reuse.

We are the main partner of big mills in China and abroad, such as Tsingshan, Baosteel, Tisco, Jisco, Yongjin, Hongwang, Yusco, etc...With our years of rich experience and knowledge accumulation in the field of stainless steel, as well as professional processing capabilities and a strong distribution platform, our products are exported to all over the world, and we have cultivated a good user base, which in turn has grown our team.

Our own warehouse in Ningbo bonded area stores 5,000~8,000 tons of coils per month, mainly serving overseas customers for processing. We carry out a series of further processing such as cutting, slitting, trimming, polishing, and punching in our own factory.

We are implementing a strict quality control system to ensure that all products meet quality requirements of customers. We have attained many certificates such as ISO 9001,CE,PED,SGS ,etc.. All the products will be strictly inspected before shipment.

Thanks to the support and trust of our partners, our sales volume continues to increase and our business territory continues to expand.
