A182 F316L special flange ideal for long-term applications that will face the elements
Besides L, there are other grade notations such as F, N, H and several others, by adjusting the composition specifications of carbon, manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, etc. to obtain the desired properties .
316 and 316L are commonly machined into many different shapes. They can be formed on equipment similar to carbon steel and are easily punched and pierced. Excellent ductility means they perform well in deep drawing, spinning, drawing and bending. Types 316/316L are resistant to atmospheric corrosion as well as moderately oxidizing environments. It is also resistant to corrosion in marine atmospheres and has excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion in the as-welded state.
