In stainless steel tubes, why are there some SS in the back and some standard L, such as 316L and 316SS? What's the difference?
The strength of the 2 is the sameBut the removal of carbon from stainless steel costs enormous energy, so don't look at carbon from 316 of 0.08% to 0.03% of 316L, but the price is much higherIn conclusion, the later logo, whether it's L, SS, and others, has its different implications, representing the properties of this material
316SS carbon content is higher than 316L (with L indicating ultra low carbon, corrosion resistance of chloride ion, improve its resistance to intergranular corrosion and oxide stress corrosion resistance), mechanical properties,.316SS strength higher than 316L316L is the steel that continues to reduce carbon content on the basis of 316316L is more resistant to corrosion due to its low carbon content
There is no essential difference between 316SS and 316L, the same as austenitic stainless steel, and SS means stainless steel.316SS and 316L stainless steels are made of Mo stainless steel. The total performance of this steel is better than that of 310 and 304 stainless steel. Under high temperature, 316 stainless steel is widely used when the concentration of sulfuric acid is below 15% and higher than 85%. 316 stainless steel also has good chloride corrosion resistance, so it is often used in marine environments.
316: corresponding to China's brand 0Cr17Ni12Mo2316L: corresponding to Chinese brand 00Cr17Ni14Mo2316L steel is a low C series of 316 steel grades. It has better corrosion resistance except for the same characteristics as 316 steel.
