316/316L Stainless Steel

WLD Steel is a leading manufacturer, supplier and exporter of the stainless steel 316/316L in the shape of a pipe, tube, sheet, plate, bar, rod and other shapes like an angel, channel, circle, cut piece and so on. Similar to 304 and 304L, with more content of Mo, Austenitic stainless steel 316 and 316L offer good strength, plasticity, toughness and cold-forming properties. 316L is a low-carbon version of 316 with slightly lower strength.

Both of them provide corrosion resistance and perform well in low temperatures especially in various organic acids, inorganic acids, bases and salts (such as sulfurous acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, etc.) and seawater. It is worth noting that their corrosion resistance is far superior to 304 and 304L stainless steel in reducing acid medium.
