316L Stainless Steel Chemical Composition,316L stainless steel machining

Grade 316L stainless steel is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst the austenitic stainless steels. Grade 316L stainless steel is the low carbon version of 316 and is immune from sensitisation (grain boundary carbide precipitation).

316L Stainless Steel Chemical Composition
Fe, <0.03% C, 16-18.5% Cr, 10-14% Ni, 2-3% Mo, <2% Mn, <1% Si, <0.045% P, <0.03% S

316L Stainless Steel Features
316L Stainless Steel is easily welded by all commercial processes. If forging or hammer welding it is recommended to anneal after these processes to help avoid unwarranted corrosion.
Not hardenable by heat treatment, however often cold working the alloy has proven to increase hardness and tensile strength.
Sometimes know by industry professionals as marine grade stainless for its uncanny ability to resist pitting corrosion.

316L Stainless Steel Machining
316L stainless steel tends to work harden if machined too quickly. For this reason low speeds and constant feed rates are recommended.

316L stainless steel is also easier to machine compared to 316 stainless steel due its lower carbon content.
