316L prefab pipe etter corrosion resistance

316L, however, is a better choice for a project that requires a lot of welding because 316 is more susceptible to weld decay than 316L (corrosion within the weld).

316 steel comes in different varieties, including 316L. 316L stainless steel contains less carbon and molybdenum than typical 316 steel, which gives the two alloys different properties. Grade 316L is a low carbon version of 316 stainless steel. When cold worked, 316 can produce high yield and tensile strengths similar to duplex grades. The thermal conductivity of austenitic steels is only 30% of that of unalloyed steels. They have lower melting points than unalloyed steels, so austenitic steels must be welded with lower heat input than unalloyed steels.
