Stainless Steel 316H Flats Angles

Stainless Steel 316H is a high carbon version of the Stainless Steel 316 alloy. It contains an increased carbon content, which enhances its high-temperature strength and resistance to sensitization compared to Stainless Steel 316.
Stainless Steel 316H flats and angles are typically manufactured from Stainless Steel 316H and offer several key characteristics:
Composition of Stainless Steel 316H:

• Carbon (C): 0.04% – 0.10%
• Chromium (Cr): 16% – 18%
• Nickel (Ni): 10% – 14%
• Molybdenum (Mo): 2% – 3%
• Manganese (Mn): 2% maximum
• Silicon (Si): 0.75% maximum
• Phosphorus (P): 0.045% maximum
• Sulfur (S): 0.03% maximum

Properties and Characteristics:

• High-Temperature Strength: Stainless Steel 316H flats and angles are designed to maintain good mechanical strength and structural stability at elevated temperatures.
• Corrosion Resistance: They offer excellent corrosion resistance in various environments, including acidic, alkaline, and chloride-containing conditions.
• Resistance to Sensitization: The higher carbon content in 316H helps to minimize sensitization, a condition that can lead to intergranular corrosion in certain environments.
• Weldability: Stainless Steel 316H flats and angles have good weldability, although it is recommended to use low heat input during welding to avoid potential sensitization.
• Formability and Fabrication: They can be easily formed, machined, and fabricated into desired shapes for different applications.
