316L Bars made of low-carbon austenitic stainless steel provide exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly from chlorides and acidic conditions. Provided in Singapore by Andre Stainless, 316L bars suit marine, medical, and food-grade environments where resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and intergranular attack is important. The low carbon content enhances weldability by reducing carbide precipitation upon welding and thus makes 316L appropriate for pressure vessels and fabricated parts. These bars, certified to ASTM A276 and A479, come in hot-rolled, annealed, or cold-drawn finishes with good mechanical properties and extended service life under aggressive chemical and saline environments.
SS 316L has ~16–18% Cr, ~10–14% Ni, ~2–3% Mo, ≤0.03% C, and trace amounts of manganese, silicon, and nitrogen. It provides tensile strength of ~485 MPa, yield strength ~170 MPa, elongation ~40%, and hardness of ~150 HB. Low carbon content avoids sensitization during welding, thus, providing resistance against intergranular corrosion. 316L is non-magnetic in the annealed condition, has toughness at cryogenic temperatures, and resists pitting in chloride environments. It is highly durable, formable, and weldable, making it a preferred material in corrosive and hygienic service conditions.
