What is 316L Stainless Steel Powder?

How serious are fertility problems today? People don't want to give birth,can't afford it, and can't give birth that has become the "three mountains".
The problem of childbirth is related to the people's livelihood. Whether a country can prosper or not depends on the population. I saw a set of data a few days ago. The data shows that on January 1, 1990, 2,784 babies were born in Shanghai. Ten years later, on January 1, 2000, 1,148 babies were born in Shanghai. In 2010, the number became 380. , 2020 only 156 people, the decline in the birth rate is shocking. The three most critical reasons are: I don't want to give birth, I can't afford it, I can't give birth! The decline of the global population will bring a series of economic and social problems, among which the demand for 316L powder will also be affected.

316L Stainless Steel Powder
316L class stainless steel, sometimes referred to as A4 or Marine class stainless steel, is the second most common austenitic stainless steel after 304/A2.

Stainless Steel
Like steel, stainless steel consists mainly of iron and carbon. However, stainless steel also contains at least 10.5% chromium, a metallic element that gives the metal a finish and excellent corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is ideal for long-term applications that will face elements, moisture, and potentially corrosive chemicals. It is also ideal for sensitive industries such as food preparation and pharmaceuticals because the risk of contamination is much lower.
Different grades of stainless steel also contain trace amounts of different elements. Class 304 stainless steel contains up to 35% nickel and is used in applications such as appliances, cookware, plumbing, and hardware. Grade 316 contains molybdenum, making it ideal for Marine equipment, chemical and pharmaceutical equipment, and commercial kitchen equipment. 316 steel is available in different varieties, including 316L. 316L stainless steel contains less carbon and molybdenum than typical 316 steel, which gives the two alloys different properties.


Differences between 316 and 316L Stainless Steel
The 316L component has a lower proportion of carbon. To meet the requirements of 316L stainless steel, the carbon content should not exceed 0.03%. This reduces the risk of carbon deposition, making it a better choice for welding to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.
The carbon content of 316 stainless steel is moderate and the molybdenum content is between 2% and 3%, which improves resistance to corrosion, acid elements, and high temperatures.
Both materials have excellent ductility, which means they perform well in bending, stretching, deep drawing, and spinning.


How to choose 316 or 316L Stainless Steel?
The following factors need to be considered when deciding whether to use 316 or 316L stainless steel:
Corrosion resistance: 316L is the best choice for high corrosion and high-temperature applications. Because 316L has less carbon than 316, it has better intergranular corrosion resistance, which means its welds don't decay like 316 stainless steel.
Cost: Although 316L has a lower carbon content, 316 and 316L stainless steel cost about the same.
Magnetism: 316 stainless steel has very low response to the magnetic field. Unlike ferromagnetic basic stainless steel, most varieties of stainless steel (including 316) are austenitic--or actually nonmagnetic. 
However, some 316 stainless steel products can undergo processes such as cold forming and welding, in which the austenite crystal structure is transformed into ferromagnetic martensite. 316L steel is easier to obtain a degree of magnetism. 
Practical applications: Both types of stainless steel can be used in a variety of industries.  However, 316 is mainly used in construction and infrastructure because it is robust, pitting, and corrosion resistant in most cases. The 316L is popular in pharmaceutical and photographic equipment because it can withstand welding and corrosive chemicals.

Due to the limited total amount of traditional energy, people have a huge demand for cleaner and greener new energy alternatives. Now, the emergence of graphene is unlocking the possibility of its application in the energy field, which can create a greener, more efficient, and sustainable future. Here Francesco Bonaccorso, Deputy Director of Innovation at the Graphene Flagship Program, explains how his researchers have developed a series of initiatives to bring graphene from the lab to the commercial market. Graphene has become a research hotspot for new materials in the 21st century. Graphene has been adopted by many industries, the most notable of which are healthcare and key material applications.

The development of graphene has brought huge fluctuations in the demand for 316L powder, and the demand for 316L powder will continue to grow in the future. You can contact us for the latest news on 316L powder.
