304L Stainless Steel Plate


304L stainless steel is remarkably similar to 304 stainless steel in their chemical composition. but there is one key difference. In grade 304 stainless steel, the maximum carbon content is set at 0.08%, whereas grade 304L stainless steel has a maximum carbon content of 0.03%. This is why the “L” in 304L can be interpreted as extra-low carbon. It is widely used in the production of equipment and parts that require better corrosion resistance and formability.

316 Stainless Steel Plate


316 stainless steel also contains 2-3% molybdenum, in addition to iron, chromium and nickel. The addition of molybdenum significantly improves the performance of 316 stainless steel in certain corrosive environments, especially those containing chlorides. 316 stainless steel is more commonly used in situations requiring higher corrosion resistance.

316L Stainless Steel Plate


316L stainless steel has a lower proportion of carbon in its composition. To qualify as 316L stainless steel, the amount of carbon cannot exceed 0.03%. This decreases the risk of carbon precipitation, making it a better option for welding to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.
