SS 316L Austenitic Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steel

SS 316L is an austenitic Chromium-Nickel stainless steel with superior corrosion resistance. The low carbon content reduces susceptibility to carbide precipitation during welding. This permits usage in severe corrosive environments such as isolator diaphragms, and metal diaphragms, for both aerospace sensors and burst discs. The alloy can be formed from the annealed temper by stamping and deep drawing. Joining is accomplished by brazing and welding. The Molybdenum is the alloy composition provides excellent strength up through 800° F in applications. Available Sizes: SS 316L is available from Hamilton Precision Metals as strip product from 0.0005” to 0.050” (0.0127 mm to 1.27 mm) in widths up to 12.0” (304.8 mm). It is also available in foil as thin as 0.000200” (0.00508 mm) in widths of 4.0” (101.6 mm) maximum. The material conforms to AMS 5507, ASTM A240, FED QQS766 and UNS S31603.
