JIS G4304 SUS 316L stainless steel plate is austenitic-based stainless steel specified in "JIS G 4303 stainless steel rod". JIS G4304 SUS 316L stainless steel plate is an ultra-low carbon steel with a lower carbon (C) content than SUS316. Stainless steel grades with an L at the end are also called L grades. Compared with stainless steel without L, the corrosion resistance is less likely to decrease due to the decrease in chromium (Cr) concentration during heating.
The mechanical properties of JIS G4304 SUS 316L stainless steel plate in the state of solution heat treatment are hardness (HB): 187 or less, strength: 175 N/mm2 or more, tensile strength: 480 N/mm2 or more, elongation: 40% or more, Stretching: 60%.
In addition, JIS G4304 SUS 316L stainless steel plate contains more nickel (Ni) than SUS316. Compared with SUS316, JIS G4304 SUS 316L stainless steel plate has better cold workability and resistance to intergranular corrosion. In the state of solution heat treatment, the hardness of JIS G4304 SUS 316L stainless steel plate is HB: 187 or less. The specific gravity is 7.93.
