Mechanical properties and application of 316L stainless steel plate

Mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel plate:
Tensile strength (Mpa) 620 MIN， yield strength (Mpa) 310 MIN， elongation (%) 30 MIN， area reduction (%) 40 MIN， 316L stainless steel density 7.93 g / cm3, hardness HRB < 90 HV < 200 HBS < 187。

Application of 316L stainless steel plate：
316L stainless steel plate is a molybdenum stainless steel plate. Because of the molybdenum in the 316L steel, the overall performance of 316L stainless steel plate is better than 310 and 304 stainless steel. Under high temperature conditions, when the concentration of sulfuric acid is less than 15% or more than 85%, 316L stainless steel plate has a wide range of uses. 316L stainless steel plate also has good resistance to chloride corrosion, so it is usually used in marine environment.

The maximum carbon content of 316L stainless steel plate is 0.03, so 316L stainless steel plate can be used in applications where annealing is not possible after welding and where maximum corrosion resistance is required.
