FAQ's
What is 316LN stainless steel?
316LN stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel that belongs to the chromium-nickel-molybdenum family. It is a modification of the common 316L grade, where the ‘L’ denotes low carbon content for increased weldability and corrosion resistance. The ‘N’ refers to the intentional addition of Nitrogen. This serves two main purposes. It provides solid solution strengthening, which compensates for the strength lost due to the low carbon content, and it further enhances corrosion and pitting resistance (especially in chloride environments). This combination makes it a strong material for applications requiring excellent strength and superior resistance to corrosion and sensitization after welding.
What is the difference between AISI 316L and 316LN?
The primary difference lies in the nitrogen (N) content. AISI 316L is a low-carbon version of 316 stainless steel. It is used to prevent sensitization (weld decay) and intergranular corrosion after welding. However, the low carbon also slightly reduces the material’s strength compared to the standard 316 grade. 316LN is a nitrogen-enhanced version of 316L. The added nitrogen not only improves resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion but also acts as a strengthener, raising the minimum specified yield and tensile strength to be similar to or higher than standard 316, while retaining the excellent weldability and corrosion resistance of the low-carbon 316L.
What is the composition of SS316LN?
The composition of SS316LN stainless steel is similar to 316L, but with a controlled addition of nitrogen. The typical composition includes Carbon (C) ≤ 0.03%, Chromium (Cr)16.0 – 18.0%, Nickel (Ni) 10.0 – 14.0%, Molybdenum (Mo) 2.00 – 3.00%, Nitrogen (N) 0.10 – 0.16%, Manganese (Mn) ≤ 2.00%, Silicon (Si) ≤ 1.00%, Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.045%, Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.030% and Iron (Fe) Balance.
What is the magnetic permeability of stainless steel 316LN?
Stainless steel 316LN is non-magnetic in its fully annealed condition. Its magnetic permeability is very low, typically having a value close to 1.0, similar to a vacuum.
However, a slight increase in magnetism (and thus magnetic permeability) can occur during cold working and welding. Despite these slight changes, the material is generally classified as non-magnetic and is preferred for applications, such as certain parts in electrical, instrumentation, or nuclear industries.
