316L Stainless Steel Strip

DIN-EN 1.4404, UNS S31603, AMS 5507

316L stainless steel is the low carbon version of type 316, which is the second most common austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel after type 304. 316L stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance due to its high chromium and molybdenum content combined with a low carbon content. It is often considered one of the most suitable choices when selecting an austenitic stainless steel for medical devices and marine applications.

Common Applications Of 316L Stainless Steel Strip Include:

  • Storage & Transportation
  • Equipments
  • Chemical Tubing
  • Food Processing
  • Marine Applications
  • Flexible Metal Hose
  • Medical Devices

Corrosion Resistance

Type 316L, sometimes referred to as marine grade stainless steel, is an austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy that provides improved corrosion resistance than type 304 or other stainless steel alloys. This enables 316L stainless steel to be used in highly acidic environments that other steels cannot withstand.Structural parts for aircraft, trailers, and diaphragms are typical uses.

316L Stainless Steel Strip Cold Forming

316L stainless steel strip has a high degree of ductility and is quite easy to form. A cold working operation will enhance the alloy’s strength and hardness, as well as leave it slightly magnetic.

Welding Of 316L Stainless Steel Strip

316L stainless steel can be readily welded by most standard processes. A post weld heat treatment is not necessary.

Heat Treatment

Annealing between 1050 and 1080°C followed by rapid quenching can be carried out after forging to restore corrosion resistance in particular, but no heat treatment can harden the grade.

Available Sizes & Forms

  • Thickness Range: 0.03-2 mm (.001″-.079″)
  • Slitting Width: 2-300 mm (.08″-12″)
  • Materials can be delivered in forms of strip coils and cut-to-length.
  • Gauge Tolerance

  • Thickness Tolerance: +/- 0.005 mm
  • Width Tolerance : +/- 0.05 mm
  • Straightness

    Maximum deviation is 1.25 mm per 1000 mm.

    Surface Finish

  • 2H -work hardened and temper rolled for higher tensile stength
  • 2R/BA -cold rolled, bright annealed and skin passed. Smooth, bright surface.
  • Specifications

    Our type 316L stainless steel is covered by the following specifications:

    ASTM A 666
    ASTM A 240

    Edging Treatment

  • Mill Edge – untreated edge, generally with a somewhat uneven contour.
  • Slit Edge – edge with the shearing burr not removed.
  • Deburred Edge – slit edge from which the burr has been removed.
  • Round Edge – edge completely rounded.
  • 316L Stainless Steel Strip Applications

    It is commonly used in chemical and petrochemical industry, in food processing, pharmaceutical equipment, medical devices, in potable water, wastewater treatment, in marine applications and architectural applications near the seashore or in urban areas.
