Steels have unique properties that have made them an important material in different industries including the automobile and construction industries. Steel is superior to aluminum in terms of strength, stiffness, durability, and fire resistance. 00Cr17Ni12Mo2N (AISI 316N) and 00Cr17Ni13Mo2N (AISI 316LN) steels have unique properties that make them suitable for different applications. This paper reviews the physical properties of both steels and their applications.
00Cr17Ni12Mo2N (AISl316N) steel is a stainless steel with a higher nickel content than 00Cr17Ni13Mo2N (AISI 316LN) steel. It has a composition of 0.08% Carbon, 16.0-18.0% Chromium, 12.0-14.0% Nickel, 2.0-3.0% Molybdenum, and 0.03% Nitrogen. This steel has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in acids and alkalis. In addition, it has high mechanical strength, good weldability, and excellent formability. It is therefore used in chemical plants, paper mills, and power generation facilities.
00Cr17Ni13Mo2N (AISI 316LN) steel is a stainless steel with a higher nitrogen content than 00Cr17Ni12Mo2N (AISI 316N) steel. It has a composition of 0.03% Carbon, 16.0-18.0% Chromium, 13.0-15.0% Nickel, 2.0-3.0% Molybdenum, and 0.10-0.16% Nitrogen. This steel has excellent formability, ductility, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for applications in the food industry. It is used for making cookware and serving dishes, cutting tools, and bearings.
Both types of steel have high corrosion resistance, making them useful for applications that require protection from harsh conditions. The high mechanical strength of both steels also makes them suitable for wear parts, such as springs, tools, and cutting tools. Additionally, their magnetic properties make them suitable for use in medical instruments, such as MRI and CAT scans.
00Cr17Ni12Mo2N (AISl316N) and 00Cr17Ni13Mo2N (AISI 316LN) steels have high thermal conductivity, making them suitable for applications that require resistance to heat. Both steels are non-magnetic, making them suitable for parts used in electronics and instruments. In addition, they have excellent ductility and formability, making them suitable for deep drawing and cold forming.
With a high resistance to oxidation and corrosion, 00Cr17Ni12Mo2N (AISl316N) and 00Cr17Ni13Mo2N (AISI 316LN) steels are useful for offshore equipments, such as vessels and platforms. Furthermore, these steels are highly resistant to chloride corrosion and can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F). This makes them suitable for high temperature applications, such as pressurised systems, heat exchangers, and boilers.
In conclusion, 00Cr17Ni12Mo2N (AISl316N) and 00Cr17Ni13Mo2N (AISI 316LN) steels are extremely useful for many different applications. They offer superior corrosion and oxidation resistance and possess high mechanical strength. In addition, they have excellent formability and ductility, making them suitable for deep drawing and cold forming. They are also resistant to chloride corrosion and can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C (1832°F). Thus, they are ideal for high temperature applications such as pressurised systems, heat exchangers, and boilers.
