Stainless Steel 316L V4A suppliers in china
Stainless steel 316L V4A & its material properties
Spring steel 316L V4A is very easy to weld. Thanks to the addition of molybdenum and the increased nickel content, the 316L material is characterized by other positive properties, which we will present to you below. Thanks to its properties, stainless steel V4A is suitable for a wide range of applications, for example in the food industry or in environmental and medical technology.
The 316L material
316L stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance and is used in many ways because of this property. The V4A stainless steel gets its corrosion-resistant properties from the addition of 2 to 2.5% molybdenum. Stainless steel 316L V4A also has a lower carbon content. It has excellent weldability and is also easy to forge. Stainless steel V4A can also be polished. It can be used at low temperatures or up to a maximum temperature of 550 °C (between 120 °C and 250 °C depending on the load).
Sheet V4A – corrosion-resistant, forgeable & suitable for welding
With V4A stainless steel, you are choosing a material that can be processed in a variety of ways. It is resistant to intergranular corrosion and has excellent corrosion resistance in natural environmental media as well as in media with a moderate concentration of chlorine and salt and in the food industry. 316L stainless steel can be slowly heated to be forged in a temperature range between 1150 °C and 1180 °C. The cooling of 316L V4A stainless steel with water or air then takes place quickly. The 316L material can be welded well with and without filler material. Its corrosion resistance is not affected by welding.
Sheet metal made of stainless steel V4A with a wide range of applications
Thanks to its high-quality properties, V4A sheet metal offers numerous areas of application. V4A stainless steel is suitable, for example, for use in the automotive or construction industry. The 316L material can also be used in aviation and mechanical engineering. Sheet V4A is also used in apparatus and container construction as well as in the chemical and petrochemical industries. Last but not least, stainless steel 316L V4A is a suitable material for use in the food industry and pharmacy and can also be used for decorative purposes.
