AISI 316L stainless steel plate is a low-carbon version of AISI 316, an austenitic stainless steel widely known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride environments. It is specifically designed to offer improved weldability and resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding, thanks to its low carbon content (≤ 0.03%). AISI 316L is ideal for applications where superior performance in harsh environments is required.
