(3) Key Differences Between 316 and 316L Stainless Steel

The primary difference lies in carbon content, which affects corrosion resistance, weldability, and mechanical properties. 316L, with its lower carbon content, offers better weldability and higher resistance to intergranular corrosion.

Comparison of 316 and 316L Stainless Steel of CES-EX-LNX Fixtures

This table clearly illustrates the key differences between 316 and 316L stainless steel, helping in selecting the right material based on specific application requirements.

4. Choose 316 OR 316L Housing for LNX Fixtures?

• For welded applications, 316Lis recommended because its lower carbon content prevents intergranular corrosion after welding, enhancing durability.
• For highly corrosive environments(e.g., strong acids, strong alkalis, salt spray), 316L provides superior corrosion resistance.
• For higher mechanical strengthwithout strict welding requirements, 316 is a suitable choice.

� If the lighting fixture is manufactured with welding or used in extreme corrosive environments (such as offshore platforms or chemical plants), 316L is the better option.
� If welding is not required and higher mechanical strength is needed, 316 is sufficiently durable.
