AISI 316
Details
Lork Group high-quality AISI 316 (1.4401/X5CrNiMo17-12-2) is an austenitic stainless chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel Due to the addition of 2 to 2.5% molybdenum the corrosion resistance from AISI 316 compared much better.
Products Description
Lork Group high-quality AISI 316 (1.4401/X5CrNiMo17-12-2) is an austenitic stainless chromium-nickel-molybdenum steel Due to the addition of 2 to 2.5% molybdenum the corrosion resistance from AISI 316 compared to standard austenitic grades AISI 304 and AISI 304L is much better.
AISI 316 is well suited for machining! Due to the molybdenum content AISI 316 has a good resistance in chloride-containing media and non-oxidizing acids. But AISI 316 in welded condition is not resistant to intergranular corrosion! Best corrosion resistance is achieved with polished surface. This material is comparable to AISI 316L.
