SUS316L Stainless Steel: Low-Carbon Corrosion Resistant Grade
Jan 14, 2026
Leave a message



This is a steel grade in which the nickel content of SUS 304, a representative austenitic stainless steel grade, is increased and molybdenum is added to further improve corrosion resistance.
SUS304 with increased nickel and molybdenum addition= SUS316: Improved corrosion resistance (pitting corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, etc.)
SUS316 with higher nickel, lower carbon = SUS316L ... + Improved intergranular corrosion resistance
The "L" in SUS316L stands for low carbon.
Highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel is also suitable for drawing applications because of its low carbon content and high nickel content, resulting in low hardness in the annealed state and less work hardening.
Note that although non-magnetic in the solution heat-treated state, it becomes weakly magnetic after strong working.
This grade of steel is difficult to obtain due to its relatively small distribution volume among thin stainless steels, but we also manufacture such materials with custom specifications.
