316 / 316L Stainless Steel – Properties, Applications & Global Supply | Nifty Alloys LLC

In marine-grade stainless steels, 316 and 316L Stainless Steel are two of the most corrosion-resistant materials. Widely known for their molybdenum-rich alloy, they have gained widespread application in fields where resistance to chlorides, acids, and abrasive environments is critical.

• 316 Stainless Steel: General-purpose grade with enhanced strength and corrosion resistance.
• 316L Stainless Steel: Low-carbon version with enhanced weldability and lesser risk of carbide precipitation.

We at nifty alloys LLC sell and export 316 / 316L Stainless Steel in all forms — plates, sheets, bars, rods, pipes, tubes, and coils. With global outreach and ISO-qualified quality control, we offer reliable delivery to the customers in India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Europe, USA, and Asia.

Key Features of 316 Stainless Steel

• Superior Corrosion Resistance – Especially effective against chlorides and saltwater environments.
• High Strength – Performs well under stress and high-load conditions.
• Weldability – 316L’s low carbon reduces carbide precipitation during welding.
• Heat Resistance – Suitable for service up to 870°C intermittently and 925°C continuously.
• Non-Magnetic – In annealed condition, 316/316L are essentially non-magnetic.
• Versatility – Widely used across diverse industries.
