ASTM A276 / S31603 CHEMISTRY

316L Stainless Steel Bar Chemical Composition

Review the chromium, nickel, molybdenum and low-carbon limits for your specified bar grade.

Element316L / S31603
Chromium (Cr)16.00–18.00%
Nickel (Ni)10.00–14.00%
Molybdenum (Mo)2.00–3.00%
Carbon (C)≤0.030%
Manganese (Mn)≤2.00%
Silicon (Si)≤1.00%
Phosphorus (P)≤0.045%
Sulfur (S)≤0.030%
Nitrogen (N)≤0.10%

Why the Mo and Carbon Levels Matter

316L contains 2–3% molybdenum, supporting stronger resistance to localized pitting and crevice attack in many chloride-bearing conditions compared with 304. Its low carbon level is valuable for welded assemblies where intergranular corrosion risk is part of material selection.

Mo 2–3% + C ≤0.03%

Include the actual chemical analysis and service environment in your material review. Final alloy suitability follows the project design, finishing method and operating conditions.

Heat TraceabilityRecord the heat number in the requested certificate.
ASTM ChemistryUse the agreed product edition for test acceptance.
EN OrdersApply EN 10088-3 chemistry when ordered as 1.4404.

Reference composition for ASTM A276/A276M UNS S31603 stainless steel bars. Grade 1.4404 follows the separate EN material chemistry and acceptance limits when specified.

MATERIAL CONDITION / TESTING

316L Bar Mechanical Properties

Mechanical performance depends on delivery condition, cold work and the agreed ASTM or EN product specification.

PropertySolution-Annealed Reference
Tensile strength≥485 MPa
0.2% proof / yield strength≥170 MPa
Elongation (50 mm gauge)≥40%
Brinell hardness (reference)≤217 HB
Cold-finished barPerformance and tolerances specified by condition and order

Specify the Condition for Your Order

For your machining or welding project, identify the delivery condition, diameter and test acceptance requirements before production or supply is confirmed.

Annealed reference values: confirm mechanical acceptance under the contractual ASTM A276/A276M edition and the applicable material test certificate. Cold working can change strength, hardness and elongation.
  • Solution-annealed condition as specified
  • Hot-finished or cold-finished dimensions
  • Hardness and mechanical testing tied to your drawing
GRADE SELECTION

316L vs 304 Stainless Steel Bar

Use your corrosion exposure, material standard and fabrication method to select the grade for your order.

316L / S31603

Molybdenum-Bearing Low-Carbon Stainless

2–3% molybdenum and ≤0.03% carbon help serve corrosion-sensitive and welded fabrication needs.

  • Mo-bearing austenitic grade
  • Higher resistance to pitting than 304 in many chloride exposures
  • Specified for chemical and industrial process equipment components
304 / S30400

General-Purpose Austenitic Stainless

Widely specified for fabricated components and machinery in general corrosion-resistant service.

Choose grades against the specified ASTM or EN standard and actual operating conditions. The two grades have different chemistry requirements.
