Home > Stainless Steel 316L Valves
Stainless Steel 316L Valves are constructed from a low-carbon austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy, which provides exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, outperforming standard 316 stainless steel. Their chemical makeup generally consists of 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, 2–3% molybdenum, and very low carbon content (<0.03%), enhancing weldability and preventing carbide precipitation. On the mechanical side, 316L valves boast impressive tensile strength, yield strength, and toughness, ensuring they maintain their structural integrity even under high pressure and challenging environmental conditions.
