1. Introduction of 316/316L stainless steel plate

（1）316 stainless steel plate is added with Mo element, so its corrosion resistance is greatly improved. Its high temperature resistance can reach 1200-1300 degrees, and it can be used under harsh conditions. 316 stainless steel plate has excellent work hardening, and is non-magnetic in solid solution state. It is widely used in food, petrochemical and other important fields.

（2）316L stainless steel plate is a derivative of 18-8 type austenitic stainless steel, with 2~3% Mo element added. 316L stainless steel has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry due to its excellent corrosion resistance. On the basis of 316L stainless steel plate, many steel grades are also derived, for example, 316Ti is derived after adding a small amount of Ti; 316N is derived after adding a small amount of N; 317L is derived by increasing the content of Ni and Mo.

5. Characteristics of 316/316L stainless steel plate

(1) The appearance gloss of cold-rolled products is good.

(2) Adding Mo (2~3%) has excellent corrosion resistance, especially pitting resistance.

(3) It has good high temperature strength.

(4) Excellent work hardening performance (weak magnetic properties after processing).

(5) The solid solution state is non-magnetic.

(6) Good welding performance.

6. Application of 316 stainless steel plate

The 316 series steel plate is added with Mo element, so its corrosion resistance, atmospheric corrosion resistance and high temperature strength are particularly good, and it can be used under harsh conditions. Therefore, it is widely used in important fields such as chemical industry, petrochemical industry, food industry and so on. 316L stainless steel plate is also commonly used in seawater equipment, chemical, dye, paper, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment. Production of CD rods, bolts, nuts and other products.
