Stainless Steel 316LN Flanges

Stainless Steel 316Ln Flanges are made of an austenitic stainless steel alloy with the following chemical composition: carbon (0.03%), manganese (2.00%), phosphorus (0.045%), sulfur (0.03%), silicon (1.00%), nickel (10.00-14.00%), chromium (16.00-18.00%), molybdenum (2.00-3.00%), nitrogen (0.10-0.16%), and iron as the balance. This combination of elements provides the material with excellent resistance to corrosion, high strength and toughness, and good machinability. The high nickel and molybdenum content improves the material's corrosion resistance against sulfurous and acidic environments, while the nitrogen content enhances its strength and toughness. The austenitic structure of the material provides good formability, weldability, and impact resistance.
