Use the standard austenitic alloys (316 or CF8M) whenever the part will not be welded or can besolution annealed after welding.Use the low carbon versions (316L or CF3M) for parts that will be welded and cannot be solutionannealed after welding

What is the tensile strength of 304 stainless steel vs 316 stainless steel?
According to the Metals Handbook of the American Society of Testing and Materials, 316 Stainless has a tensile strength of 85,000 pounds per square inch.
What is 304 stainless steel?
304 stainless is a standard metal used in kitchens and laboratories. Power plants and industrial settings more commonly use 305, 316 and 321 stainless steel. 304SS is used to make knives, utensils, labware, appliances and tables, it is easily cleanable and holds a shine well. 304SS is also known as 18/8 stainless having an 18% chromium content and an 8% nickel content.
Which is better 304 or 316?
If you think bigger is better you will pick 316. But it all depends on opinion.
What is the ultimate shear strength of stainless steel 316 n 304 n 302?
It depends on how it is worked, but a minimum strength in tension is 80,000psi. In shear, it is 0.577 times the tension strength, or shear strength minimum = 46,000 psi
What is LN of 316LN stainless steel refers to?
Grade 316 is the standard molybdenum-bearing grade, second in importance to 304 amongst theaustenitic 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, is immune from sensitisation (grain boundary carbide precipitation). Thus it is extensively used in heavy gauge welded components (over about 6mm). 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. EnduraMet(R) 316LN stainless is a nitrogen-strengthened version of Type 316L stainless. By means of solid solution strengthening, the nitrogen provides significantly higher yield and tensile strength as annealed than Type 316L without adversely affecting ductility, corrosion resistance or non-magnetic properties. In the hot rolled unannealed condition, yield strength of 75 ksi (518 MPa) or higher can be achieved for bar diameters up to 1.375in (34.925mm). The foregoing information was gathered from two different web locations arrived at by searching for "stainless steel rebar" and "316LN stainless steel." It appears that Type 316 is a standard stainless steel, 316L is a low carbon stainless steel, and 316LN is a low carbon nitrogen strengthened stainless steel.
What does cf8m stand for is it 316 or 304 stainless?
316 stainless
What filler metal is used to weld 304 stainless to 316 stainless?
Most material being welded to 2205 including itself, should be welded with 2209 filler wire.
What is the tensile strength of 304 stainless steel vs 316 stainless steel?
According to the Metals Handbook of the American Society of Testing and Materials, 316 Stainless has a tensile strength of 85,000 pounds per square inch.
Can stainless steel piping be seamless?
Yes! Per ASTM A 312 in 304/304L and 316/316L.
What is the current price of stainless steel?
Current price of stainless steel as of May 24 2011 in the United States is around 70 cents per pound. There are various types of stainless steel such as 304, 316 etc. 304 stainles steel scrap will pay you less at the scrap yard then 316 stainless steel. Always know or have tested your stainless steel scrapbefore selling to the recycling yard.
Does 316sst have better corrosion resistance than 304sst in di water?
Compared to 304 grade stainless steel, the 316 has higher strength, can withstand higher temperatures, and yes it can resist corrosion better. One factor is the molybdenum content in the 316 grade which gives it the overall corrosion resistant properties. The downside, 316 stainless steel grade is way more expensive than 304.
Problems with Stainless Steel 304 screws to fix Stainless Steel 316 brackets?
Generally if 316 has been specified for the application especially used in Marine and Industrial applications 316 (A4) fasteners should be used. Otherwise corrosion could be a possibility of the fasteners and this localised corrosion will contaminate the brackets and cause them to initially stain then corrode.
What has the author M T Serra written?
M. T. Serra has written: 'Characterization of the semiconductivity of passive films on AISI 304 and 316 stainless steel'
How long does 304 stainless steel pipe last in salt water vs 316 stainless steel?
Hey Christensen, I can't answer your question, but check out this link, it may help http://home.cogeco.ca/~mquill/stainless.html
What does the grade 304 mean in terms of stainless steel?
Stainless steel that is 304 grade is basically Stainless steel that is food-safe. Most stainless steel water bottles are made from 304 grade stainless steel, as well as cutlery, knives, and watches.
Is 304 stainless steel always food safe?
A stainless steel corrosion resistant variety contains more than 10% chromium along with possible other alloying elements. Corrosion attacks in stainless steel are resisted by weak mineral and acids and it is able to keep its strength at high temperatures. The most common grades are 304, 316, and 409.
What is the melting point of 316 stainless?
The melting point of 316 stainless steel is in the 1375-1400°C range.
