3,Advantages
✅ Chloride Resistance
316L’s molybdenum-enriched matrix prevents pitting and crevice
corrosion in seawater, brine injectors, and acidic media.
✅ Zero Post-Weld Degradation
Low carbon content (<0.03%) eliminates carbide precipitation
during welding, ensuring intergranular corrosion resistance.
✅ Hybrid Manufacturing
Cold Forming/Welding: Retain material integrity without thermal
distortion.
5-Axis CNC Machining: Achieve complex geometries and tight
tolerances.
✅ Full Traceability
Mill Test Reports (MTRs) with heat number tracking.
100% PT (Dye Penetrant) and PMI (Positive Material Identification)
testing.
4,Applications
Offshore & Marine: Subsea pipelines, seawater cooling systems,
shipboard fittings.
Chemical Processing: Chlor-alkali reactors, acid storage tanks,
bleach production.
Desalination Plants: Reverse osmosis (RO) modules, brine discharge
flanges.
Pharmaceutical: CIP/SIP systems, high-purity fluid transfer.
Oil & Gas: H₂S/CO₂-laden wellheads, LNG cryogenic piping.
5,Manufacturing Process
1. Material Selection:316L steel sourced from ISO-certified mills
2. Forming:Cold rolling/pressing or TIG welding (for large sizes).
3. Machining:5-axis CNC for bolt holes, grooves, and sealing faces.
±0.3mm positional accuracy.
4. Surface Treatment:Electro-polishing or nitric acid passivation.
5. Quality Control:PMI, PT/UT testing, 3D CMM for dimensional
verification.
