316L stainless steel pipe is a low-carbon variant of 316, designed to provide improved corrosion resistance, especially after welding or high-temperature exposure. Its excellent resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments makes it a reliable material in marine, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical industries. The low carbon content also minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, making it ideal for heavy-gauge welded components.
