Stainless Steel 316/316L Buttweld Fittings are a type of molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel, containing 16–18% chromium, 10–14% nickel, 2–3% molybdenum, along with trace amounts of carbon, manganese, and silicon. The addition of molybdenum boosts resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, while the low-carbon content in 316L helps reduce carbide precipitation during welding. These fittings boast a tensile strength of about 515 MPa, a yield strength of 205 MPa, and an elongation of 40%. They also offer excellent formability, toughness, and corrosion resistance in both chloride and acidic environments.
