Type 316/316L has a higher Nickel content (10% min) than 304 (8% min) and offers superior corrosion resistance. The 316L version of the alloy has less Carbon to promote resistance to intergranular attack after welding has taken place. Type 316/316L is often used in marine environments, aerospace and chemical applications including fuel cells. It is available in both COIL and SHEET form at Sidecuts.com®. This material is ordered to meet both 316 and 316L specifications.
