Introduction to the characteristics, grades, application range and properties of 316L stainless steel wire mesh

316L stainless steel wire mesh features, grades, application range and characteristics
316L stainless steel mechanical properties: 316L stainless steel density 7.93 g/cm3 Typical uses Pulp and paper equipment heat exchangers, dyeing equipment, film washing equipment, pipelines, coastal building exterior materials, and high-end watch bracelets, watch cases, etc. Equipment for seawater, chemical, dye, papermaking, oxalic acid, fertilizer and other production equipment; photography, food industry, coastal facilities, ropes, CD rods, bolts, nuts.
316L stainless steel is also called titanium steel, 316L fine steel. Titanium steel material grade: 00Cr17Ni14Mo2 Add Mo (2~3%), excellent pitting resistance, high temperature resistance, excellent creep resistance.

Features
1) Cold rolled products have good gloss and are beautiful;
2) Due to the addition of Mo, corrosion resistance, especially pitting resistance, is excellent;
3) Excellent high temperature strength
4) Excellent work hardening (weak magnetism after processing)
5) Non-magnetic in solid solution state;
6) Higher price compared to 304 stainless steel.

Scope of
application Pipeline, heat exchanger, food industry, chemical industry, watch industry, etc.

Use status
1) Annealed solution state:
NO.1, 2B, N0.4, HL and other surface conditions.
316L is a molybdenum-containing stainless steel. Due to the molybdenum content in the steel, the overall performance of this steel is better than 310 and 304 stainless steel. Under high temperature conditions, when the concentration of sulfuric acid is lower than 15% or higher than 85%, 316L stainless steel has a wide range of uses. 316L stainless steel also has good resistance to chloride corrosion, so it is usually used in marine environments.
The maximum carbon content of 316L stainless steel is 0.03, which can be used in applications where annealing cannot be performed after welding and maximum corrosion resistance is required .

Corrosion
resistance The corrosion resistance is better than 304 stainless steel, and it has good corrosion resistance in the production process of pulp and papermaking. Moreover, 316L stainless steel is also resistant to erosion by the ocean and corrosive industrial atmosphere.

Heat resistance
In intermittent use below 1600 degrees and continuous use below 700 degrees, 316L stainless steel has good oxidation resistance. In the range of 800-1575 degrees, it is best not to act continuously. 316L stainless steel, but when 316L stainless steel is used continuously outside this temperature range, the stainless steel has good heat resistance. 316L stainless steel has better resistance to carbide precipitation than 316 stainless steel and can be used in the above temperature range. Heat treatment

Solution annealing
is carried out in the temperature range of 1010-1150 degrees, followed by rapid cooling. 316L stainless steel cannot be hardened by overheating.

Welding
316L stainless steel has good welding performance. It can be welded by all standard welding methods. When welding, 316Cb, 316L or 309Cb stainless steel filler rods or electrodes can be used for welding according to the purpose. For the best corrosion resistance, the welded section of 316 stainless steel needs to be annealed after welding. If 316L stainless steel is used, post-weld annealing is not required.

316L stainless steel mechanical properties:
