    F316 Austenitic Stainless Steel

    ASTM A182 F316

    F316 is an Austenitic Cr-Ni stainless steel second only to F304 in commercial importance. F316 contains an addition
    of Molybdenum that gives improved corrosion resistance, particularly pitting and crevice corrosion in Chloride
    environments.
    The Material is always supplied in the Solution Annealed condition.
    Initially developed for use in paper mills, F316 is now typically used in many industries including Food processing,
    Brewing, Marine, Automotive, Aerospace, Mining, Medical, Oil and Gas, in fact in all applications where enhanced
    corrosion resistance is required.

    Typical Chemical composition


    Carbon 0.08% Max
    Silicon 1.00% Max
    Manganese 2.00% Max
    Phosphorous 0.045
    Sulphur 0.030
    Chromium 16.0 - 18.0
    Nickel 10.0 - 14.0
    Molybdenum 2.00-3.00

    Mechanical Property Requirements – Solution Annealed condition

    205 Mpa Min 515 Mpa Min 30% Min 215 HB Max

    Forging
    This alloy can be readily forged at temperatures 1000 – 1200Deg.C
    Hot working below 927Deg.C should be avoided.
    The low carbon content of these alloys ensures no heavy scale but excessive soak times should still be avoided to
    avoid enlarged grain size, suggest 15minutes per inch (25mm) of maximum ruling section

    Heat Treatment
    This alloy is not hardenable by heat treatment and is therefore supplied in the Annealed condition.
    Anneal 1040Deg.C minimum, ensuring that sufficient time is allowed for the centre to achieve furnace temperature
    and hold for a time commensurate with the ruling section, followed by rapid cooling in Water.

    Machining
    F316 is readily machinable in the annealed condition by milling, drilling, turning, etc as required.
    Cutting edges should be kept sharp and cuts should be kept light but deep enough to avoid work hardening.
    Coolants and lubricants should be used in large quantity.

    Corrosion Resistance
    F316 has excellent corrosion resistance when exposed to a range of corrosive environments. It is usually regarded as
    Marine grade stainless, however it is not resistant to warm sea water. Warm Chloride environments can cause pitting
    and crevice corrosion. F316 will also suffer from stress corrosion cracking above 60Deg.C

    Oxidation Resistance
    This alloy has good resistance to oxidation in intermittent service upto 870Deg.C and in continuous service
    upto 925Deg.C. However continuous use between 425 – 860Deg.C is not recommended if corrosion resistance
    in water is required. In this instance the lower carbon variant F316L is recommended due to its resistance to
    carbide precipitation.
    When high strength at temperatures above 500Deg.C is required, grade F316H is recommended.

    Welding
    Austenitic stainless steels are generally considered to be weldable by the common fusion and resistance techniques
    but special consideration is required to avoid hot cracking of the weld metal.
