* Property values are for reference and may vary by alloy, temper, and processing conditions.

The composition of stainless steel 316L is essentially identical to that of stainless steel 316, but with a lower carbon content. Its ultra-low carbon content (≤0.03%) makes it more suitable for welding processes, where it is less prone to intergranular corrosion and exhibits more stable corrosion resistance post-welding.
