Solution Treatment (Annealing Temperature)Īnnealing at a temperature range of 1010-1065 ☌, then cooling rapidly. AISI SAE ASTM 316 Heat TreatmentĪISI 316 stainless steel heat treatment are summarized in the following content, such as annealing, hardening, etc. 316L stainless steel has better carbide precipitation resistance than AISI 316 and can be used in the above temperature range. In the range of 427 ☌ – 857 ☌, it is better not to continuously use SS 316, but when 316 stainless steel is continuously used outside this temperature range, it has good heat resistance. SS316 Heat Resistanceģ16 SS has good oxidation resistance in intermittent use below 871 ☌ and continuous use up to 927 ☌ in air. Type 316 steel is not magnetic, but may be weakly magnetic after cold working. K)Ĭoefficient of thermal expansion, (10 -6/K).Thermal conductivity of stainless steel 316, (W/m Modulus of elasticity (Elastic modulus), GPa The data sheet below shows SS 316 material physical properties, such as density, melting point, thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, magnetic, modulus of elasticity, specific heat capacity, etc. Table 3, ASTM 316 stainless steel properties Table-2, SS 316 stainless steel properties, data are for 25.4 mm (1 in.) diameter bar The following tables show AISI 316 grade stainless steel mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and hardness, etc. ASTM A240/A240M: Standard Specification for Chromium and Chromium-Nickel Stainless Steel Plate, Sheet, and Strip for Pressure Vessels and for General Applications.ASTM A276/A276M: Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes.Table-1, AISI 316 stainless steel composition, more results please view the stainless steel composition chart. Grade 316 Stainless Steel PropertiesĪISI ASTM 316 stainless steel properties such as chemical composition, physical properties, mechanical properties, magnetic properties are summarized in the tables below. SS 316 Data Sheet & SpecificationĪSTM SAE AISI 316 stainless steel data sheet and specification are listed in the table below, including chemical composition and properties.

SS 316 is better than SS 304 in terms of corrosion resistance, heat resistance and certain properties, but the price is higher than AISI 304, for more details, please check stainless steel grade 304 vs 316, and 316 vs 316L. Due to the addition of Molybdenum (Mo), SS 316 has a great improvement in corrosion resistance and certain properties compared to SS304.ģ16L stainless steel (UNS S31603) is the low carbon version of AISI 316. AISI 316 stainless steel (UNS S31600) is the second most commonly used austenitic stainless steel.
