This grade can be hot forged in the 1150/1200¡ãC temperature range. Annealing should be carried out after forging to restore the structure (dissolution of carbides). These elements are important because they improve the alloy’s corrosion resistance; chromium interacts with oxygen in seawater to form a protective layer of chromium oxide, while molybdenum improves the metal’s resistance to pitting corrosion. Additionally, 316L has a lower carbon content (hence the use of “L” in its name), which gives it better protection against corrosion.
