Material Properties
Type ~316L is an improved Corrosion resistant Chrome-Nickel steel alloy with high content of Molybdenum. It is a free machining grade with controlled sulfur content, used specially for watch making parts in middle and high quality watches, but also for other industries.

Corrosion resistance
Due to its superior Corrosion resistance, it has been used in handling many of the chemicals used by chemical process industries. It is more resistant to pitting Corrosion than typical 18-8 alloys. For optimum Corrosion resistance, surfaces must be free of scale and foreign particles. Parts should be passivated.

Availability
Bars: Cold drawn, ground and polished. Standard length of bars 3m. Surface roughness N6, in tolerance ISO h7 for bars and fg8 for coils.

Heat Treatment
For high corrosion resistance and low magnetism, there may be an annealing procedure necessary. This annealing is only useful after a strong cold working which raised the mechanical resistance

Annealing: Heat to 1010-1120 ºC (1850-2050ºF and water quench)

Hardening: Cannot be hardened by heat treatment hardens only by cold working

Stock Range
0.90-14mm in bars and 0.90-5mm in coils

Mechanical properties
Tensile strength: at delivery form 750-1000 N/mm2

Cutting Rate
30-50m/min (approx value depending on the lubrication oil, the cutting tools, the form parts)
