316 and 316L stainless steel alloys pipe bend marine-grade steels pipe fittings
Grade 316 pipe bend is readily workable, by the standard methods of sheet metal working, with the exception that it cannot be oxygen cut. Plasma cutting is normal. The deep drawing capability of grade 316 is outstanding, because of its high austenite stability.
316 and 316L stainless steel are strong, durable, and corrosion resistant materials suitable for use in structural applications. If you¡¯re looking for beams made from these alloys for your next project, we can provide you with both standard (20 feet) and custom lengths to meet your exact project specifications.

Once the impurities are removed from the molten steel, the addition of chromium (Cr) and other alloying elements such as nickel (Ni) produces Stainless Steel. These elements create a corrosion-resistant product know as stainless steel. 316 is an austenitic chrome nickel steel with superior corrosion resistance to that of other chrome nickel steels. 316 Stainless Round is widely used in applications when exposed to chemical corrodents, as well as marine astomosperes.
