316L Temperature limitations

316L Temperature limitations

316L Temperature limitations

(OP)
I'm trying to find out what the temperature limitations are for 316L Stainless. However such info on any of the common Stainless Steel grades would be most welcome

RE: 316L Temperature limitations

Temperature limitations are determined based on design application; for example high temperature oxidation exposure is a limitation, creep deformation is a limitation and load-carrying capacity is a limitation. What is your application for this material?

RE: 316L Temperature limitations

I should also include temperature limitations related to exposure to various corrosive environments.

Temperature limitation information is out there for this material in various sources (see below), you just need to know the application.

RE: 316L Temperature limitations

The Outokumpu corrosion tables are good.
There are also some souce that deal with high temp corrosion.  The book, High Temperature Corrosion of Engineering Alloys by George Lai is one of the best.
Traditionally the other limit is oxidation in air,  but first you need to know a few things.  Is it constant exsposure or cyclic, what is the air velocity, what about humidity or combustion products in the air
