Differences between SUS 316 and SUS 316L
- 316L has 0.03 max carbon and is good for welding whereas 316 has a mid range level of carbon
- 316L and 316 are austenitic alloys, meaning that these stainless steel products gain corrosion resistance from use of a non-magnetic solid solution of ferric carbide or carbon in iron in the manufacturing process)
