AISI 316 steel has good corrosion behavior and high-temperature stability, but often prolonged exposure to temperatures close to 700 °C in aggressive environments (e.g., in boilers and furnaces, in nuclear installations) can cause problems that lead to accelerated corrosion degradation of steel components. A known solution is to prepare …
In the present study, compositionally-graded structures of AISI 316L and CoCrMo alloy are manufactured by powder-based laser-beam directed energy deposition (DED-LB). Through a process-integrated adjustment of powder flow, in situ alloying of the two materials becomes feasible. Thus, a sharp and a smooth transition with a mixture of …
SAE 316L grade stainless steel, sometimes referred to as A4 stainless steel or marine grade stainless steel, is the second most common austenitic stainless steel after 304/A2 stainless steel. Its primary alloying constituents after iron, are chromium (between 16–18%), nickel (10–12%) and molybdenum (2–3%), with small (<1%) quantities of silicon, …
Milton et al. studied the microstructure of DED AISI 316L and revealed that Cr and Ni equivalent contents lie in the range of 5–10% δ-ferrite []. Zietala et al. also investigated DED of AISI 316L and found that intercellular δ-ferrite formed at sub-grain boundaries as a].
Heat and plastic forming processes for 1.4404, 1.4401, AISI 316/316L steel. Hot forming at 1150 - 900℃. Supersaturation at 1050 - 1100℃ with water or air cooling. In the above-mentioned grades we supply companies with: Peeled and drawn bars F316, F316L. Stainless steel and spring bands strips. Stainless steel wires on spools or in coils.
Summary. AISI 316 belongs to the austenitic stainless steel class. The addition of the alloying elements brings high corrosion resistance by the formation of a protective oxide layer on the material surface, with good ductility and thoughness. AISI 316L has lower C content, which improves the resistance to intergranular corrosion.
