316L is widely used in the chemical industry due to its excellent corrosion resistance. 316L is also a derivative steel of 18-8 austenitic stainless steel, with 2-3% Mo added. Based on 316L, many steel grades are derived, such as 316Ti after adding a small amount of Ti, 316N after adding a small amount of N, and 317L after increasing the Ni and Mo content.

The Mo content of 316L makes this steel grade have excellent corrosion resistance and can be safely used in environments containing halogen ions such as Cl-. Since 316L is mainly used for its chemical properties, steel mills have slightly lower surface inspection requirements for 316L (relative to 304), and customers with higher surface requirements should strengthen surface inspection efforts.

‌316L stainless steel prices range from ¥10.00 to ¥4.09/kg. ‌

This price range reflects the diversity of 316L stainless steel on the market, including products of different specifications, sizes and processing methods. For example, the company in Wuxi City provided 316L stainless steel plates at a price of ¥23.37/kg and a transaction volume of 792 kg. The company in Jiangsu provided 316L stainless steel plates at a price of ¥10.00/kg and a transaction volume of 15,809 kg. The company in Dongguan provided 316L stainless steel plates at a price of ¥4.09/kg and a transaction volume of 120,745 kg. These prices reflect the supply of 316L stainless steel on the market, including raw materials, processed materials and products for specific purposes.

The price of 316L stainless steel is affected by many factors, including market demand, supply, product specifications, processing methods, etc. Therefore, the specific price will vary according to different suppliers and product characteristics. ‌

316 stainless steel contains 2-3% molybdenum, which makes it have excellent corrosion resistance, especially in chloride environment. It is suitable for manufacturing high-strength mechanical structures. It can be processed by TIG or MIG welding, and no annealing is required after welding. High purity gas and water are required in the manufacturing process, and the production environment is required to be clean and dust-free.
