Secondly, the corrosion resistance is different. The 3 16L stainless steel has better grain boundary corrosion resistance and better corrosion and rust resistance. The strength of the two materials is also different. The strength of 3 16L material is lower than that of 3 16, which is convenient for processing. In addition, the welded section of 3 16 stainless steel needs post-weld annealing treatment, while 3 16L stainless steel does not. 3 16L stainless steel has better grain boundary corrosion resistance and better corrosion and rust resistance.
3 16 material can be used intermittently below 1600 degrees, and continuously below 1700 degrees, but it is best not to use 3 16 stainless steel within the range of 800- 1575 degrees. The carbide precipitation resistance of 3 16L stainless steel is better than that of 3 16 stainless steel, and it can also be used in the temperature range of 800- 1575 degrees.
Different welding methods
The welded section of 3 16 stainless steel needs post-weld annealing, but 3 16L stainless steel does not. 3 16L carbon is not easy to precipitate and chromium is combined to form chromium carbide, which can reduce the corrosion of welded parts. 3 16 stainless steel plate. Also known as deep-sea stainless steel plate, it can resist some kinds of corrosive natural environment. Generally, aluminum alloy is added to steel to enhance the required characteristics.
There are various kinds of 3 16 stainless steel plates, and some common types are L, F, N and H variants. Each one is often a little different, and each one often has a different main purpose. The carbon water content of 3 16L steel expressed by "L" is less than 3 16. Although it is similar to type 304 commonly used in food industry, both types 3 16 and 3 16L mainly show better corrosion resistance and higher compressive strength at high temperature.
