View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF) Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.
AK Steel Type 316L is a Cr-Ni-Mo steel with a very low carbon content (0.03 max). Its general resistance to corrosion is similar to AISI Type 316 (see Alloy Digest SS-865) but, because of its low carbon content, it has superior resistance to the formation of harmful carbides that contribute to intergranular corrosion. The molybdenum content (2 - 3%) gives it greater resistance to pitting corrosion than the 18-8 chromium-nickel grades. Thus it is particularly suitable for uses where corrosive conditions are severe. Type 316L is used widely in many industries such as chemical, food, paper, textile, nuclear, and oil.
