ASTM A240 Grade 316L (S31603) Stainless Steel Hot and Cold Working

Type 316/316L is a molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel intended to provide improved corrosion resistance relative to Type 304/304L. 316L (S31603) Stainless Steel is used in the oil and gas and chemical industries for its cost effective corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication.
