The low carbon content of 316L provides an effective solution to this widespread engineering problem of 316 stainless steel. It is important to make sure that copper and zinc do not become contaminants at the site of welds, as this can create cracking. Type 316L should be specified for welded applications as the low carbon version eliminates chromium carbide precipitation and enhances the corrosion resistance in the as-welded condition.
