Stainless steel 1.4462 fasteners 316l hex bolt S31603 Density
Type 316/316L is a chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steel containing molybdenum. The addition of molybdenum improves corrosion resistance compared to 304/304L in halide environments and in reducing acids such as sulfuric and phosphoric acid. Type 316L can be dual certified as 316 when the composition meets the carbon lower limit of 316L and the slightly higher strength level of 316.
316L steel combines excellent mechanical properties with good machinability with one of the best chemical resistances in the steel family. It has long-term resistance to most chemicals, salts and acids, and challenging environments such as marine environments.
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.
