Grade 316 stainless steel has molybdenum-bearing grade making it a fair bit more resilient to corrosive abuse than Grade 304. This is especially noticeable in highly sulfuric, hydrochloric, formic and tartaric environments where pitting usually persists. 316 stainless steel is extremely versatile; not only does it have strong forming and welding characteristics, but it has the ability to fold or roll so it can be easily transformed into a number of applications. Additionally, 316 stainless steel tends to hold up better than 304 in higher temperature environments.
Grade 316L is very similar to 316 stainless steel. It is still considered a molybdenum-bearing grade and has properties that make it highly resistant to corrosive degradation. 316L grade stainless steel differs from 316 in that contain lower levels of carbon. The decreased level of carbon in this stainless steel makes this grade immune from sensitisation or grain boundary carbide precipitation. Because of this unique property, Grade 316L tends to be commonly used in heavy gauge welding situations. Additionally, the lower carbon levels make this grade easier to machine. Like 316 stainless steel, 316L because of its austenitic structure is extremely tough, even in the most extreme of temperatures.
