Custom Width 316 Stainless Steel Strips High Tensile for Chemical Processing

Products Specification

• Product Name: Precision 316L Stainless Steel Strip
• Grade: UNS S31603 / EN 1.4404 (Low Carbon Variant)
• Standards: ASTM A666, AMS 5513, EN 10270-3

Overview

316L stainless steel strip is a low-carbon, molybdenum-enhanced austenitic alloy designed for superior weldability and resistance to sensitization (carbide precipitation). Ideal for applications requiring repeated welding or exposure to extreme temperatures, this variant minimizes intergranular corrosion risks while retaining the hallmark corrosion resistance of the 316 family.

Key Advantages

• Enhanced Weldability: Low carbon content (<0.03%) prevents carbide formation during welding.

• Stress Corrosion Resistance: Excels in chloride-rich or high-humidity environments (e.g., offshore rigs, coastal infrastructure).

• Biocompatibility: Meets ISO 5832-1 and ASTM F138 standards for medical implants and surgical tools.

• Thermal Stability: Performs consistently in cryogenic to 800°C (1472°F) conditions.
