2. Material Characteristics
SS316L is a low - carbon version of the 316 stainless steel. It contains approximately 16 - 18% chromium (Cr), 10 - 14% nickel (Ni), and 2 - 3% molybdenum (Mo). The low carbon content (≤0.03%) significantly reduces the risk of carbide precipitation during welding, enhancing its corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments. The addition of molybdenum further improves its resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride - containing media.
3. Mechanical Properties
- Tensile Strength: The minimum tensile strength of SS316L steel pipes is 485 MPa. This high tensile strength ensures the pipes can withstand substantial mechanical stress without deformation or failure.
- Yield Strength: With a minimum yield strength of 170 MPa, SS316L pipes exhibit excellent resistance to permanent deformation under applied loads.
- Elongation: The elongation percentage is typically not less than 40%. This high elongation value indicates good ductility, allowing the pipes to bend and form without cracking, which is crucial for various installation and fabrication processes.
4. Manufacturing Process
Our SS316L steel pipes are manufactured using advanced techniques. For seamless pipes, the process involves piercing a solid billet of SS316L steel and then rolling it to the desired diameter and wall thickness. Welded pipes are produced through high - frequency induction welding or TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding processes. After manufacturing, all pipes undergo rigorous quality control checks, including non - destructive testing such as ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, and hydrostatic testing, to ensure they meet the highest industry standards.
5. Application Range
- Food and Beverage Industry: The excellent corrosion resistance and hygienic properties of SS316L make it ideal for food and beverage processing lines, including pipelines for transporting milk, juices, and alcoholic beverages. It prevents contamination and ensures the purity of the products.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: In pharmaceutical manufacturing, where strict hygiene and corrosion - free environments are essential, SS316L pipes are used for the transportation of process fluids, cleaning agents, and sterile water.
- Marine Applications: Due to its high resistance to saltwater corrosion, SS316L pipes are widely used in marine engineering, such as seawater intake and discharge systems, shipboard piping, and offshore platforms.
- Chemical Processing: In chemical plants, SS316L pipes can handle a variety of corrosive chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and solvents. Their corrosion resistance properties make them suitable for use in pipelines for chemical transportation, storage, and processing.
