316L S31603 1.4401 stub end flange

316L stainless steel is an austenitic alloy often referred to as “marine grade stainless steel” because it is used in nearly 90% of marine applications – including filtration. In addition to metals such as iron and nickel, 316L contains 16-18% chromium and 2-3% molybdenum. These elements are important because they improve the alloy’s corrosion resistance; chromium interacts with oxygen in seawater to form a protective layer of chromium oxide, while molybdenum improves the metal’s resistance to pitting corrosion. Additionally, 316L has a lower carbon content (hence the use of “L” in its name), which gives it better protection against corrosion.

Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy containing at least 10.5% chromium. They achieve their stainless steel properties by forming an invisible and adherent chromium-rich oxide film. Alloy 316 is a general purpose austenitic stainless steel with a face-centered cubic structure. It is essentially non-magnetic in the annealed state and can only be hardened by cold work. Molybdenum has been added to improve corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-containing environments. The lower carbon content of Alloy 316L provides better corrosion resistance in welded structures.

    Steel Plate are often used for structural and construction applications, pressure vessels, marine and offshord equipment, and military applications. The grade, elements and parameters of a steel plate are also important in how it is used.
    Steel plates are classified by thickness: thin plate, medium plate, thick plate and extra-thick plate.
    Thin steel plates are steel plates with a thickness between 0.2-4mm produced by hot rolling or cold rolling, and thick steel plates are those with a thickness of more than 4mm
    The general name of the good board.
    Thin steel plate refers to a steel plate with a thickness of not more than 3 mm. The commonly used thin steel plate thickness is 0.5-2MM, which is divided into sheet and coil supply. Thin
    The steel plates are generally B-type steels, cold-rolled or hot-rolled steel plates with steel grades B0-B3. Requirements for thin steel plates: smooth, smooth surface, thick
    The degree of uniformity, allowing a tight iron oxide film, must not have cracks, scarring and other defects. The process is divided into hot rolled sheet steel and cold rolled sheet
    plate. Mainly used in Changlin Dongfeng fans, automobiles, electrical equipment, vehicles, agricultural machinery, containers, steel furniture, etc.
    Thick steel plates refer to steel plates with a thickness greater than millimeters. Thick steel plate is divided into extra-thick steel plate and medium-thick steel plate.
    Medium and heavy steel plates refer to steel plates with a thickness greater than 3 mm and less than 50 mm. Medium and thick steel plates are mainly used in shipbuilding, boilers, bridges
    Armor and high-pressure vessel shells, etc.
    Extra-thick steel plate refers to a steel plate with a thickness of not less than 50 mm. Extra-thick steel plates are mainly used in shipbuilding, boilers, bridges and high-pressure vessel shells
