WHAT IS 316L STAINLESS STEEL AND WHERE IS IT USED?
When it comes to 316 stainless steel, you can expect better corrosion and pitting resistance to chlorides than 304 stainless steel, and higher levels of strength at elevated temperatures. This is due in part to the addition of molybdenum. This is what makes it an ideal grade for such applications as pumps, valves, textile and chemical equipment, pulp & paper, and marine applications.
316L stainless steel is the extra-low carbon version of 316 stainless steel that helps avoid carbide precipitation due to welding.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 304L AND 316L
The most basic difference between the grades of steel in the presence of molybdenum in stainless 316. Molybdenum is a chemical element used for the strengthening and hardening of steel. Its main function in stainless 316 is to help fight off corrosion from chlorides. 316 Stainless contains more nickel than stainless 304, while 304 contains more chromium than 316. 304 Stainless usually consists of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. 316 Stainless is made up of 16% chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum.
The two steel grades are comparable in appearance, chemical makeup, and characteristics. Both sheets of steel are durable and provide excellent resistance to corrosion and rust. 304 stainless steel is the most versatile and widely used austenitic stainless steel in the world, due to its corrosion resistance. 304 stainless is also cheaper in cost compared to 316, another reason for its popularity and widespread use.
Stainless 316 is more expensive because it provides a higher corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and chlorinated solutions. This makes stainless 316 more desirable in applications where salt exposure is an issue. Moreover, 316 stainless will last longer than 304, providing you with extra years of life and usage.
ADVANTAGES OF 316L STAINLESS STEEL JEWELRY
| 1 | HIGH STRENGTH AND NOT EASY TO DEFORM. |
| 2 | ANTIOXIDANT, HIGH HARDNESS. |
| 3 | STRONG CORROSION RESISTANCE. |
| 4 | MORE STYLES, LOW PRICES. |
Because the advantages of its raw materials also determine the many advanta
ges of 316l stainless steel jewelry, 316l stainless steel can be used to produce rings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, earrings, and many other categories of 316l stainless steel jewelry, 316l stainless steel jewelry advantages are as follows:
1. HIGH STRENGTH AND NOT EASY TO DEFORM.
There are professional experiments to prove that the tensile strength of 316l stainless steel is 686-1176mpa, and the density is only 60% of steel. The high strength of 316l stainless steel also determines the high strength of 316l stainless steel jewelry.
2. ANTIOXIDANT, HIGH HARDNESS.
Anti-oxidation allows 316l stainless steel jewelry to remain discolored during long-wearing. While its high hardness makes it less prone to wear during work.
3. STRONG CORROSION RESISTANCE.
In most fashion jewelry production, 316L stainless steel in the air below 550 °C, the surface will form a thin and fine oxide film, so in the atmosphere, seawater, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid. And other oxidizing medium and strong alkali, its corrosion resistance Sex is better than most stainless steel.
4. MORE STYLES, LOW PRICES.
Their styles are diverse and they are loved by contemporary young men and women, and the price is better than gold.
Stainless steel is a modern material with a history of more than 60 years. In recent years, the appearance of 316l stainless steel jewelry has made the reputation of stainless steel in modern materials and accessories significantly improved. As long as the choice of stainless steel is correct, the production is professional and properly maintained. 316l stainless steel jewelry is the best choice for fashion people from all over the world.
