Finished Hex Nuts - 316L Stainless Steel

316L Stainless Steel is a low carbon, austenitic stainless alloy offering superior corrosion resistance in marine, saltwater, and chloride environments. The addition of molybdenum provides exceptional protection against pitting and crevice corrosion, making 316L a preferred grade for coastal and corrosive applications.
 
Often Paired With:

• 316L Hex Head Cap Screws

Common Applications:

• Marine fasteners
• Chemical processing equipment
• Food processing and pharmaceutical equipment
• Medical implants and instruments
• Heat exchangers and pressure vessels
• Coastal construction hardware
• High-moisture or corrosive environments

The “L” stands for low carbon (≤ 0.03%), which improves weldability and reduces the risk of carbide precipitation, a corrosion-promoting issue that can occur in regular 316 during welding or high-heat service.
