316 and 316L are austenitic alloys, which means that these stainless steel products achieve corrosion resistance through the use of iron carbide or a non-magnetic solid solution of carbon in iron during the manufacturing process. In addition to chromium and nickel, these alloys also contain molybdenum, which also makes them more resistant to corrosion. 317L has higher corrosion resistance where the molybdenum content is increased from 2% to 3% in 316 and 316L to 3% to 4%.
