316 and 316L stainless steel
comparison
Ingredient: “L” represents “low
carbon”. So 316L stainless steel has lower carbon content than 316 stainless
steel.
Anti-corrosion
capacity:
316L stainless steel has better anti-corrosion performance on both crystal
boundary and rust.
Material intensity: 316L has lower material intensity than 316 stainless steel, so 316L stainless steel is easier for processing.
