Stainless Steel Grade AISI 308L | EN 1.4316 | DIN X1CrNi19-9

AISI 308L | EN 1.4316 | DIN X1CrNi19-9 is a grade of stainless steel that is an austenitic stainless steel intended for welding (welding wire) and for primary molding into forged products. Among forged austenitic stainless steels, it has moderately low tensile strength and moderately low ductility.

The chemical composition of AISI 308L stainless steel is characterized by a relatively high content of manganese (Mn) and chromium (Cr). Manganese is used to improve ductility at elevated temperatures. It also allows a higher nitrogen content than would otherwise be possible. Chromium is the determining alloying element of stainless steel. A higher chromium content provides additional corrosion resistance.

Density AISI 308L / EN 1.4316 = g / cm³

Stainless wire made from this grade, intended for welding products made of corrosion-resistant chromium-nickel steels. This wire is recommended for welding structures made of stainless rolled metal (stainless pipe, stainless sheet, stainless bend and flange, etc.), for which there is a risk of hot cracks.
