Technical Data
Alloys 304 (S30400) and 304L (S30403) stainless steels are variations of the 18 percent chromium – 8 percent nickel austenitic alloy, the most familiar and most frequently used alloy in the stainless steel family.
High strength, excellent corrosion resistance and minimized carbon content make Alloy 304 and 304L Stainless Steels useful for applications where welding is required. Uses include architectural mouldings and trim, welded components of chemical, textile, paper, pharmaceutical and chemical industry processing equipment.
Other advantages are its resistance to oxidation, excellent formability, ease of fabrication and cleaning, excellent strength to weight ratio and good toughness at cryogenic temperatures
For severely corrosive environments, the lower content of Type 304L is preferred because of its greater immunity to intergranular corrosion.

Technical Data
Grade 316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in overall volume production to 304 amongst the austenitic stainless steels. The molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistant properties than Grade 304, particularly higher resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments.
Grade 316L, the low carbon version of 316 and has very high immunity from sensitization (grain boundary carbide precipitation). It is extensively used in the oil and gas and chemical industries for its cost effective corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication. There is commonly no appreciable price difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel. The austenitic structure also gives these grades excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures. Compared to chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels, 316L stainless steel offers higher creep, stress to rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperatures.
These alloys may be considered for a wide variety of applications where one or more properties are important.

Technical Data
316Ti (UNS S31635) is a titanium stabilised version of 316 molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. The 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as 304. They also offer higher creep, stress-rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperature. High carbon Alloy 316 stainless steel can be susceptible to sensitisation, the formation of grain boundary chromium carbides at temperatures between approximately 900 and 1500°F (425 to 815°C) which can result in intergranular corrosion.
Resistance to sensitisation is achieved in Alloy 316Ti with titanium additions to stabilise the structure against chromium carbide precipitation, which is the source of sensitisation. This stabilisation is achieved by an intermediate temperature heat treatment, during which the titanium reacts with carbon to form titanium carbides. This significantly reduces susceptibility to sensitisation in service by limiting the formation of chromium carbides. Thus, the alloy can be used for extended periods at elevated temperatures without compromising its corrosion resistance. 316Ti has equivalent corrosion resistance to sensitisation as the low carbon version 316L.

Technical Data
316LVM (low carbon vacuum melt) stainless steel, regarded as a medical grade, this stainless steel is vacuum melted to achieve high levels of purity and cleanliness. It has excellent resistance to both general and intergranular corrosion, and pitting and crevice corrosion. The vacuum melt allows for superior surface finish.
316LVM stainless steel is our most commonly sold medical stainless steel. Breaking down the name, this is a low-carbon version of 316 that has been vacuum arc remelted to reduce impurities. Beyond removing impurities, this process, in combination with the unique nickel and chromium content of 316, tends to facilitate the formation of the surface chromium oxide layer that makes stainless steel corrosion resistant. There is some belief that T-316 LVM forms a more substantial surface layer, and that this plays a strong role in protecting the host body from reactions to the nickel content of the material.

properties The steel grade was developed for use in halide containing environments such as seawater, hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid. The increased levels of molybdenum combined with chromium and nitrogen provide levels of pitting and crevice corrosion resistance more typically associated with higher alloy nickel base alloys such as alloy 625 (UNS N06625).
structure Austenitic when annealed in the range 1120 - 1200C. In the hot working range between 600 - 1000C (Under certain process conditions traces of the chi and sigma intermetallic phases could form.) These could exist as grain boundary precipitates. Suitable procedures for heat treatment and welding will be required to ensure that there is no impact of precipitation on corrosion resistance. The typical microstructure of the 6Mo sheet is shown in Diagram 1 & 2.

pitting corrosion Some comparative test results for the different steel grades are shown in diagram 3. Fine Tubes investigated the pitting corrosion resistance of 6Mo grade by measuring pitting potentials using ASTM G5 test method.
The experiments conducted in an autoclave at 130°C in 3.5wt% NaCI has shown that 6Mo has the highest pitting potentials, compared to the super duplex stainless steels S32750 as shown is Diagram 3.
crevice corrosion
6Mo grade steels show higher pitting and crevice corrosion resistance compared to the traditional duplex and austenitic grades as shown in Diagram 4. Tests conducted in 6% FeCl3 (ASTM G48 A & B) to determine the critical pitting temperature (CPT) and critical crevice corrosion temperature (CCT) has shown that 6Mo grade is superior to the other austenitic stainless steel grades.
fabrication Cold working - the alloy is fully cold workable and the increased level of nitrogen will lead to high work hardening rates such that will produce increased mechanical strength and toughness. Machining - the high work hardening rate attributable to increased nitrogen levels and low sulphur levels make this alloy tougher to machine and hence lower cutting speeds are required compared with conventional austenetic stainless steels.
hardness testing & fittings compatibility The nature of our seamless tube production process control ensures a level of hardness is achieved which faciltates compatibility with compression settings where, typically a maximum hardness of Rockwell ‘B’ 90 is specified.
Hardness testing on small diameter tubes is typically not performed using the Rockwell test methodology as the level of loading required tends to distort surfaces or the ball impression can fall away due to the curvature of surface. The alloy has excellent forming characteristics permitting cold bending to very tight radii. Annealing is not normally necessary after forming.
Fine Tubes use the Vickers hardness testing as the most meaningful test methodology.

Technical Data
UNS NO8904, commonly known as 904L, is a low carbon high alloy austenitic stainless steel which is widely used in applications where the corrosion properties of AISI 316L and AISI 317L are not adequate.
The addition of copper to this grade gives it corrosion resistant properties superior to the conventional chrome nickel stainless steels, in particular to sulphuric, phosphoric and acetic acids. However, there is limited use with hydrochloric acids. It also has a high resistance to pitting in chloride solutions, a high resistance to both crevice and stress corrosion cracking. Alloy 904L performs better than other austenitic stainless steels due to the higher alloying of nickel and molybdenum.
The grade is non-magnetic in all conditions and has excellent formability and weldability. The austenitic structure also gives this grade excellent toughness, even down to cryogenic temperatures
The high chromium content promotes and maintains a passive film which protects the material in many corrosive environments. 904L has a greater resistance to precipitation of ferrite and sigma phases on cooling and welding than other stainless steels containing molybdenum such as 316L and 317L. There is no risk of intercrystalline corrosion on cooling or welding due to the low carbon content. Its maximum service temperature is at 450°C.
This grade is particularly useful in control and instrumentation tubing applications where 316 and 317L are not suitable.

Technical Data
316LN (UNS S31653) is a lowcarbon, nitrogen-enhanced version of Type 316 molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel. The Type 316 alloys are more resistant to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion than the conventional chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels such as Type 304. They also offer higher creep, stress-rupture and tensile strength at elevated temperature.
The nitrogen in Type 316LN adds additional resistance to sensitization in some circumstances and it also provides some solid solution hardening, raising its minimum specified yield strength compared to Type 316L stainless steel. Like Types 316 and 316L, the Type 316LN alloy also offers good resistance to general corrosion and pitting/crevice corrosion.
