Stainless 316L
The reference chemical & medical grade
316L is a high-performance austenitic stainless steel known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in aggressive environments thanks to added molybdenum. It offers very good mechanical strength, excellent weldability and great durability. It is widely used for industrial equipment, mechanical parts, tanks, piping, medical components and parts for the chemical, pharmaceutical, food, marine and precision engineering sectors.
