316 / 316L Metallurgical Analysis & Specs

Understanding the micro-structure and chemical composition that guarantees high resistance to chloride stress-corrosion cracking.

Why Specify AISI 316/316L in Aggressive Environments?

AISI 316 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing molybdenum. The addition of molybdenum improves general corrosion resistance, enhances resistance to pitting from chloride ion solutions, and provides increased strength at elevated temperatures. 316L is the low-carbon version of 316, which prevents sensitisation during welding operations, securing the grain boundaries from carbide precipitation and preserving long-term structural integrity.

Global Infrastructure & Deep-Water Exploitation

Increasing system reliability in subsea, upstream oil & gas, petrochemical, and military-grade applications.

Subsea Chemical Umbilicals

As oil & gas extractions shift into deeper, harsher marine environments, subsea umbilical tubing demands extreme reliability. Our seamless coiled tubing protects chemical injection lines, preventing corrosion failures and ensuring safe operations in deep offshore sites.

Global Supply Networks

Exporting to over 30 countries and regions including the US, Germany, Spain, South America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. 80% of our production output serves international markets under strict global trade compliance.

Process Safety & Standards

Using online bright annealing, hydrostatic testing, eddy current checks, and hardness/flattening analyses, we guarantee a failure rate close to zero. We supply clean, precise tubing that matches the lifecycle expectations of modern engineering projects.

Advanced Manufacturing & Custom Processing Services

Integrating innovative metal treatment technologies to deliver high-performance surface quality and mechanical performance.

Bright Annealing Process

We feature world-class bright annealing technology, conducting online softening treatments in controlled protective atmospheres. This prevents surface oxidation and preserves structural ductility, giving the tube wall a high-gloss finish and superior mechanical properties.

Custom Bending & Spiral Forming

We support various custom specifications for heat exchangers, providing bending, spiral forming, and precision drawing. We process outer diameters ranging from 6.35mm up to 19mm with exact dimensional tolerances.

Comprehensive Testing Regime

To verify the mechanical properties of our tubing, we carry out continuous NDT tests, including pressure, flaring, bending, 100% hardness, tensile, and air tightness tests.

Expert Q&A: Industrial Sourcing & Engineering Specs

Technical questions answered by senior metallurgical and supply chain engineers.

What are your prices for 316 stainless steel tubing?
Our prices depend on raw material costs, size specifications, and market conditions. Please contact us with your details, and we will send you an updated price list.
Do you have a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for international shipments?
Yes, all international orders require an ongoing minimum order quantity. For smaller quantities or resale inquiries, please contact our sales team to discuss options.
Can you provide full documentation for global compliance?
Yes, we provide essential documentation, including Certificates of Analysis / Conformance, insurance papers, Certificates of Origin, and all other custom export documents.
What is the average lead time for production?
Sample delivery takes about 7 days. Mass production takes 20 to 30 days after receiving deposit and final approval. Lead times take effect when we receive your deposit and specifications are approved. If our lead times do not align with your deadline, we will work with you to find a solution.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept payments via bank transfer, Western Union, or PayPal. Standard terms are a 30% deposit in advance, with the remaining 70% balance paid against the copy of the B/L.
What guarantees do you offer for material quality and safe shipping?
We stand behind our materials and craftsmanship. We use high-quality packaging for export shipping, and specialized hazard packing for chemical cargo. Our goal is to ensure safe delivery and complete customer satisfaction.
How are international shipping fees calculated?
Shipping costs depend on the delivery method. Express shipping is fast but more expensive, while sea freight is the most cost-effective solution for large volumes. Contact us with your order details to get an accurate shipping quote.
How does bright annealing prevent corrosion in 316 tubing?
Bright annealing heats the tubes in a hydrogen-rich atmosphere. This prevents surface oxidation and locks chromium in the alloy structure, maximizing resistance to pitting in harsh industrial environments.
Can you produce continuous coiled tubes up to 10,000 meters?
Yes, we specialize in manufacturing long continuous coiled tubing up to 10,000 meters (32,800 feet). This reduces the need for orbital welds, lowering leak risks in subsea and oil and gas lines.
