316L stainless steel tube
What is 316L stainless steel tube?
The 316L Stainless Steel Tube shows high creep resistance along with good rupture and tensile strengths at elevated temperature conditions. It has molybdenum added to its alloy, which enhances its corrosion resistance properties. The TP316L material shows particularly good resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in various chloride environments.
316L material is the low carbon version of the 316 grade. It shows good fabricability and is resistant to cracking once the welding process is completed. The 316L SS Tubing material is found in heavy gauge welding components and marine industries.
