316 -   C:0.08max  UTS : min 75ksi
316L - C:0.03 max UTS : min 70ksi

For dual certified both the conditions to be satisfied.

Dual certified 316/316L   - C: 0.03 max  UTS : min 75ksi

Thanks & Regards

Dear,

Dual grade stainless steel, like 316/316L, refers to a type of stainless steel that contains a mixture of two grades within one material. In this case, 316/316L indicates a combination of 316 stainless steel and its low carbon version, 316L.

316 stainless steel is a widely used grade known for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in acidic environments. It's commonly used in industries like marine, chemical processing, and pharmaceuticals.

316L is a variant of 316 stainless steel with a lower carbon content, which enhances its weldability. This makes it more suitable for applications where welding is involved, as it reduces the risk of carbide precipitation and consequent corrosion in the heat-affected zones of welded joints.

So, when you see "316/316L," it means you're getting the best of both worlds: the corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel and the improved weldability of 316L. This dual-grade approach allows for greater versatility in various applications while maintaining the desired properties.

Regards,

Amol K.B

Please ask some one in this group to send the MTC for dual certified grade of 316/316L as I do not have at this moment.

Thanks & Regards
