Stainless Steel 316 / 316L Buttweld Fittings are crafted from molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steels, celebrated for their outstanding corrosion resistance, especially in environments rich in chlorides. Grade 316 features about 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, and 2–3% molybdenum, while 316L is the low-carbon variant that enhances weldability and reduces the risk of sensitization. These fittings typically boast a tensile strength of around 485 MPa, a yield strength of 170 MPa, and an elongation of about 35–40%, making them perfect for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. The blend of mechanical strength and corrosion resistance makes 316/316L an excellent choice across various industries.
