Stainless Steel 316LN Tubing

316ln stainless steel tubing is a type of stainless steel known for its durable and corrosion-resistant properties. It is a combination of iron, at least 10.5 per cent chromium, trace amounts of nickel, carbon, and molybdenum in small amounts. The addition of nitrogen gives this type of steel its added strength, making it popular for applications like marine equipment, industrial piping and sanitary parts. Due to its superior toughness under extreme temperatures and pressures, 316ln stainless steel tubing is ideal for industries such as food production, dairy processing and many others where sanitization is paramount.

316ln SS tubing is an incredibly versatile material with various uses and properties that make it a popular choice for many industrial applications. Its primary strength lies in its corrosion resistance; because of the addition of molybdenum, it resists chloride concentrations more strongly than any other grade of stainless steel. As well as the superior corrosion protection, 316ln stainless steel tube possesses excellent formability and weldability properties, making it very easy to work with. As such, this type of tubing is often used in food production and preparation areas and hospital environments due to its hygienic benefits and strength. Furthermore, due to its robustness, you will find 316ln ss tubing in many places that require hardness, most notably in marine environments such as shipbuilding or coastal infrastructure where salt water poses an extra threat.
