Grade 316L is the low-carbon version of SS 316. This minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, making it ideal for heavy gauge components in corrosive environments. SRG Fasteners manufactures SS 316L fasteners specifically for offshore platforms and heavy chemical plants.
With exceptional intergranular corrosion resistance, our SS 316L products ensure absolute structural integrity even after high-temperature welding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SS 316 and SS 316L?
The 'L' stands for Low Carbon. SS 316L has a maximum carbon content of 0.03%, preventing carbide precipitation during welding and offering better corrosion resistance in heavy-welded components.
