Stainless Steel 316L (UNS S31603 / AISI 316L) is a low carbon version of SS 316 which offers improved resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding. The presence of molybdenum enhances corrosion resistance in chloride environments making it ideal for marine, chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
