ASTM A276 316L Bright Bars (h9 Tolerance) – From ZYTC Alloy to Russian Market
ZYTC Alloy recently completed a significant export order of 316L stainless steel round bars to Russia, manufactured strictly in accordance with ASTM A276/A276M-25. The supplied 316L round Bars covered diameters from 5mm to 80mm, with partial tolerance complying with h9 and delivered with a bright finish. This successful shipment demonstrates our robust production and quality control systems, which follow rigorous standardization, process-driven workflows, and specialized inspection procedures. Every batch of 316L products is tested and verified before release, ensuring full conformity to customer specifications.
316L is a low-carbon version of 316 austenitic stainless steel, offering exceptional resistance to intergranular corrosion after welding or stress relieving. Its molybdenum addition provides superior pitting and crevice corrosion resistance in chloride environments. Below are the typical chemical composition and mechanical properties of 316L.
Chemical Composition of 316L (wt%)
| Element | Content |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | ≤0.03 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 16.0 – 18.0 |
| Nickel (Ni) | 10.0 – 14.0 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 2.00 – 3.00 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤2.00 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤1.00 |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤0.045 |
| Sulfur (S) | ≤0.030 |
| Nitrogen (N) | ≤0.10 |
Mechanical Properties of 316L (typical, per ASTM A276)
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≥485 MPa |
| Yield Strength (0.2% offset) | ≥170 MPa |
| Elongation (in 50 mm) | ≥40% |
| Reduction of Area | ≥50% |
| Hardness (Brinell) | ≤217 HB |
Thanks to its excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, and good formability, 316L is widely used in:
-
Marine environments (shipbuilding, offshore platforms)
-
Chemical and petrochemical processing equipment
-
Food and beverage production lines
-
Pharmaceutical and medical devices
-
Heat exchangers and pressure vessels
-
Architectural applications in coastal areas
