4 excellent properties of 316L stainless steel

316L stainless steel is composed of austenite + a small amount (5% to 10%) of transformation phase (usually martensite), and its main feature superior to 304 stainless steel is its stress corrosion resistance.

Other excellent properties are:

1. 316L stainless steel has good forming performance, avoiding the defects of poor shape stability and elongation in the forming process of common ordinary low carbon steel, especially deep drawing and deep processing will not cause local necking and fracture, And it can ensure a higher strength after cold forming with a certain amount of reduction;

2. Stainless steel has the characteristics of small difference in mechanical properties longitudinally and transversely;

3. 316L stainless steel has good fatigue resistance and stress corrosion resistance, and its fatigue life and low temperature toughness are much better than ordinary low alloy steels;
